    Question

    I have a standard form (WestFTU Form) that does not show up in the Task Bar. When minimized, it reduces to a small title bar on the Desktop, much like an MDIChild form inside its parent form.

    I doubt that either of these are the cause, but I have added MS Tabbed Dialog Control 6.0 (SP3) and MS Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP3) to the project.

    I must have some property set to something that is causing this, but I have no idea what that may be.

    Anyone ever see this behavior before?

    I'm running VB 6.0 (SP3).

    You have probably set the ShowInTaskbar property of the Form to False.

    Sorry, I should have mentioned that it IS set to True. But that does bring up another question.

    The description of ShowInTaskbar reads "Determines whether a Form or MDIForm object appears in the Windows 95 taskbar.". However, ShowInTaskbar is not a property of an MDIForm. My current project uses MDI and oddly enough, the MDIForm functions correctly, appearing in the taskbar during runtime.
