TApplication.Restore Method

Restores a minimized application to its normal size.

Pascal

procedure Restore;

C++

__fastcall Restore();

Description

Use Restore to restore the application to its previous size before it was minimized. When the user restores the application to normal size, Restore is automatically called.

Note: Don't confuse the Restore method, which restores the entire application, with restoring a form or window to its original size. To minimize, maximize, and restore a window or form, change the value of its WindowState property.

C++ Examples:

Copy Code

/*
This example uses a timer on a form. When the application
runs and the user minimizes the application, the timer
starts and the application returns to its normal size when
an OnTimer event occurs.  The timer then shuts down until
the next time the form is minimized.  Be sure to declare the
AppStartTimer method as a public method of TForm1.  Place a
TTimer object in the form and enter Timer1Timer in the OnTimer
event.

  Application->OnMinimize = AppStartTimer;
  Timer1->Interval = 1000;
}

  Timer1->Enabled = true;
