Actually in my case it works in neither citrix or network app.
The problems are different between the two, but the screens are
still too unstable in both for the setting to be much good.

But on the desktops running the app. as a general network app. it was doing what you are describing. As you tab through the objects on the forms they appear, or you can minimize/restore. I had to take out the setting as the app. needed to be run as a network app. for some of the users. However as I mentioned it did work great for us on the TS session machines.
