I wrote a little app to figure out how to list windows EnumWindows() and I
came upon something Odd.
Although my little test app only has one form, two windows show up for it.
One with the name of the application and one with the name of the caption of
the form.
I also added the ability to click on the list and make that window blink and
in fact, when I select the window with the Application name the tittle bar
blinks, when I click on the Form name, the form blinks but the tittle bar
doesn't.

Is this normal BCB Window creation behavior, to have one window for the
Taskbar and one for the form.  Why other apps don't do this?  Is there
something I need to do to make it be the same window?

Thanks,

-Art
