Hi everybody,

I've been testing Alpha Controls Lite and had a handful of “issues” before I found the explanations on their behavior online. Right now, there's only one left unresolved.

I have created a project with two forms. Main form calls the other one with ShowModal. After the modal form is closed, the main form behaves a bit strangely. This can only be seen if there is another application beneath the main window. It looks like the main form is being pushed behind before the hiding animation is executed.

Please have some application already displayed on your screen when you attempt to reproduce this behavior.

In the attached example you can see that when the application is started it animates properly. When you click on the hide button, the hiding animation also works as expected. From the tray icon you can restore the application with a mouse click.

If you, however, show the modal form by pressing the ShowModal button and close that modal form, you will not have a hiding animation if you now click on Hide button on the main form.

If you do not have any other application window beneath the main form you will not be able to see the difference.

I am using Windows 7 x32 and Delphi 2006.

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

Bye!
