Not something I've tried to change before, but I wonder if you could achieve the desired effect using a skin which has a bigger title bar/font, which you could potentially switch to/from when the form is minimised/restored.
I've not used Delphi to develop these before, but the following may help to diagnose the problem.
Is the environment ANSI or UNICODE? The latter may explain issues like that if the PChar typedef doesn't match how the JADE include headers define the Character type.
Yes, I believe so - It's at least something I see being done in complicated areas that use a lot of notifications as a safeguard to avoid any 1227 exceptions, where there's a risk specific notifications may not have been explicitly ended using endNotification or endClassNotification.
Using Object@<method> or Form@<method> will always invoke the base implementation on those classes, whereas I want any re-implementations to be invoked when iterating through their sub-classes.
In my case, it was Object as I'd added the type method to that class, but I believe you'd be able to put in any subclass, i.e. Form for the other use case I'd described.
For those still interested in the open-source jadegit project I've been working on, I just wanted to let you know about the first minor release (0.1.0) . While still very much a WIP, it's progressively getting a little bit better with each change :)
It would be nice to hear from JADE Support on this ...
Something I'm keen to see is how the parameterised constructors will work.
Roadmap indicates the plan is to support multiple constructors, I do hope that meant we've ended up getting some support for method overloading in general as well ...
