Hi,

Requirement : I need to implement attach/detach windows for the application.
Attach mean displaying a window as child and Dettach meaning displaying the
window as seperate application(a icon in the task bar).  I should able to
toggle between attach and dettach at runtime.

Problem : When i change the formstyle from fsChild to fsNormal, Form Handle
is getting changed.  I need same handle because some other child window will
be posting the messages using this handle(Please don't ask me to use
Form->handle each time..).  I also have some of the third-party control
which uses postmessage that should not be affected due to this Form Style
Change.

I have seen a MFC application which does this.  I don't have the source code
but i can capture the events in SPY++. Will that help.

Complete List of conversion between me and JD is available in
