vd2005 form title bar - what is round icon to left of control box?

[Guest]

Hello,

I noticed a round looking icon with a downward chevron symbol immediately to
the left of the control box on the form title bar. When I click it the form
seems to unload - whether in debug mode or standalone. Does this icon do
anything more than the close form icon? Is there a way to eliminate it
without eliminating the control box? Do I want to eliminate it?

Thanks,
Rich

Well, normally forms have up to 3 buttons that make up the control
box; minimize, maximize/normal and close (in that order).

Even though this is a text group, this would be one instance that a
small screen capture of that phantom icon might be warranted.
