I'm creating a pretty titlebar to replace the default titlebar (similar to the vfpx themedtitlebar but more lightweight). It's working pretty well. I set TitleBar=0 to hide the vfp default titlebar but I find that when I minimize the form (Windowstate=1) I also need to set TitleBar=1 for the 'restore' button to fire.

All that is OK, but when I 'restore' the form, I then need to turn the titlebar off again (TitleBar=0) - but I cannot figure out how to detect when that happens. When I restore the form from a minimized state, Refresh() is not fired and Show() is not fired and if I add a windowstate_assign method then even that new method is not activated when the form is restored.

In other words, doing a 'restore' from a minimized form does not seem to trigger and detectable events as far I I can tell.

Suggestions?

You probably need to hook a Windows event with BindEvents and capture SendMessage messages.

Interestingly enough, it appears WM_MDIRESTORE does not fire when a minimized window it restored...
