I'm assuming you're using OWL for this, my replies are based on that
assumption.

How are you trying to do this now? If I were to do such I would save
the state in an .INI file, read that file when my App starts, and
override the Init constructor to add that style to the
TApplication.Attr field.

If your window is based on TDlgWindow then this is a known "bug" in
OWL where the ProcessAccels method of TApplication never gets called
because ProcessDlgMsg() is called first and it swallows the
accelerator messages; the simple solution is to override the
ProcessAppMsg() method like so:
function TMyDialog.ProcessAppMsg( var Message : TMsg ): boolean ;
begin
ProcessAppMsg :=
ProcessAccels( Message ) or
processDlgMsg( Message ) ;
end ;
