Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. On Windows 2000 and Windows Me, set the Windows taskbar properties to Always
on Top and Auto Hide.
2. Place the following code in a program and then run it:
PUBLIC Y
Y=CREATEOBJECT("formtest")
Y.SHOW
RETURN
DEFINE CLASS formtest AS FORM
CAPTION = "Form1"
SHOWWINDOW = 2
BORDERSTYLE = 0
** A BorderStyle of 1 or 2 also fails.
** Change BorderStyle to 3 and it works.
MAXBUTTON = .F.
CLOSABLE = .F.
WINDOWSTATE = 2
VISIBLE=.T.
HEIGHT=200
WIDTH=375
ADD OBJECT extbtn AS COMMANDBUTTON WITH ;
HEIGHT = 24, ;
LEFT = 72, ;
TOP = 48, ;
WIDTH = 108, ;
CAPTION = "Exit"
VISIBLE=.T.
PROCEDURE extbtn.CLICK
THISFORM.RELEASE
ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE
3. After the form appears, move the mouse over the bottom edge of the form. Note
that the taskbar does not appear.
4. Open the program and change the BorderStyle property of the form to either 1
or 2. Run the code and perform step 3 again. Again, the taskbar does not
appear.
5. Open the program and change the BorderStyle property of the form to 3. Run
the code and perform step 3 again. The taskbar now appears.
