Reference Number: 161 (Published: 03/16/98)
Status: Fixed
Date Reported: 07/14/97
Severity: Serious
Type: Basic Functionality Failure

Problem:

In Delphi  2.0 you could hide the TApplication 
window by calling  

ShowWindow(Application.Handle, SW_HIDE);

but in D3 this no longer works and creates a pretty 
big problem for tray icon apps.

TApplication.UpdateVisible gets called everytime a 
form is created, destroyed, shown or hidden so 
basically you can't hide the TApplication window.

Area: vcl\core vcl classes

Status: Fixed
Date Reported: 03/17/97

Area: vcl\win95 controls\tcoolbar

Reference Number: 103 (Published: 03/17/98)
Status: Fixed
Date Reported: 05/09/97
Severity: Commonly Encountered

Re-paint problem when changing the position of a 
coolbar.  If Align is alNone, and the then changed

not repainted correctly.

Area: vcl\win95 controls\tdatetimepicker

Reference Number: 132 (Published: 03/16/98)
Status: Fixed
Date Reported: 06/05/97
Severity: Serious
Type: Basic Functionality Failure

Problem:

The datetimepicker when used as an AX does not 
fire Onclick events, and the date cannot be 
changed.
The reason is that csReflector controlstyle was not 
used hence the notifications are not propagated out 
to the control. 

Area: vcl\win95 controls\timagelist

Reference Number: 164 (Published: 03/16/98)
Status: Fixed
Date Reported: 07/14/97
Severity: Serious
Type: Basic Functionality Failure

Problem:

Problem in TCustomImageList.ReplaceMasked 
routine in CONTROLS.PAS. This routine was 
broken in D2, and broken in a different way in D3.

Using a dark colour scheme can make every colour 
transparent, so the glyphs on any buttons that use 
TCustomImageList (which include TSpeedButtons) 
become invisible. Altering the VCL Mask code by 
Adding Monochrome := True line and recompiling 
with the fixed CONTROLS.PAS solves the problem.

Area: vcl\win95 controls\tlistview

Date Reported: 05/26/97
Severity: Commonly Encountered
Type: Basic Functionality Failure

The TToolBar component creates an "List Index 
Out of Bounds (-1)" error if a TToolButton is

Area: vcl\win95 controls\ttoolbar

Reference Number: 109 (Published: 03/17/98)
Status: Fixed
Date Reported: 05/14/97
Severity: Commonly Encountered
Type: Minor Functionality Failure

Problem:

Put a TToolbar on a form, and add a few buttons.  
Insert a TLabel into the toolbar.  The buttons' 
heights shrink to become the same as the TLabel.

If anything changes height, it should be the TLabel 
which changes height to the toolbar buttons' height, 
and then changes its vertical layout to centered.
