Hiding DLL from task bar

Why Trust Us

Question:
How can I hide an application (in my case a DLL) from the taskbar in Win95 (Delphi 2.0) and still have the form active and visible?

Answer:
The easiest way to accomplish this is to set the BorderStyle property of theform to bsToolWindow. This will fool Win95 or NT into thinking the form isan unsizeable ToolWindow and it will not display on the task bar.
