I am trying to create a form with no border that can still be controlled by 
the user.  I allow the user to move the form with this code, placed in a 
MouseDown event of an Image:

ReleaseCapture();
SendMessage(Form1->Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0);

However, when I try to impliment a similar function that will generate the 
system menu, it does not work:

ReleaseCapture();
SendMessage(Form1->Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTSYSMENU, 0);

Thanks.

-Jon
