I'm having problems getting my app to recieve wm_timer callbacks.
I do a SetTimer(HWindow, 1, 1000, nil) in my Init (that's my 
TObject.Init, not TApplication.Init) and have in my object:
  Test.Timer(var Msg: TMessage) virtual wm_First + wm_Timer;

and the method of Timer only brings up a messagebox to say it got the
callback.  The problem is, I seem to be missing all of the wm_timer
messages.

Also, I'm trying to get a window to start out iconified and I can't
figure that one out either.  Right now, the best I can do is to get
it to come up and then iconify it (by using ShowWindow(HWindow, sw_ShowMinimized) or something similar).

Any ideas?
