I've a really strange problem when using ShowWindow API in my project,
whenever I try to run my project all other window applications (ex. word,
exel...etc.) looses there taskbar icon (meaning they don't show at ALL in
the taskbar) and I can only switch from one application to the other using
Alt+Tab !!  I use the following code :

Application->ShowMainForm = false;
ShowWindow(Application->Handle, SW_HIDE);

can someone help me please and tell me what I am doing wrong...

thanks.
