Using TTaskBar before creating the application's main form

Question

My application displays a "download form" with a progress bar while downloading updates and after finishing it destroys the "download form" and creates the application's main form.

The "download form" is not set as the application's main form (its created as MyDownloadForm := TMyDownloadForm.Create(nil)) and is displayed in the Windows task bar thank to the CreateParams overrided as follows:

procedure TMyDownloadForm.CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams);
begin
  inherited;
  Params.ExStyle := Params.ExStyle or WS_EX_APPWINDOW;
end;

I'm trying to display the download progress on the Windows task bar using a TTaskBar component, placed on the download form, but it seems to have no effect on the Windows task bar (no progress, no color, nothing...).

If I create the "download form" as application's main form (Application.CreateForm(TMyDownloadForm, MyDownloadForm)) it works good instead.

I honestly don't remember if there was a pratical reason for avoiding to temporarily set the "download form" as application's main form, probably it was seeming cleaner to have only one main form in the program's life-time.

Anyhow, I would like to know if there is any way to use the TTaskBar component (or any other solution for displaying a progress on the task bar) with a "common form" (not application main form).
