Window minimization

I need to redefine function of window minimization.
As i understand, i have to handle a message in my own message-handler function.
Which message can i use (WM_???)

migel

Hi! May be WM_SHOWWINDOW will help you (when minimasing wParam is equal SW_MINIMIZE)

thresher_shark

Here is what I would do:
SendMessage (hHandle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MINIMIZE, 0);

That will minimize the window referred to by hHandle. Is this what you were looking for?

Hello all!

Here is what I would do if I were you....

To minimize...

ShowWindow(hHandle, SW_MINIMIZE);

To maximize...

ShowWindow(hHandle, SW_MAXIMIZE);

where hHandle is the handle to the window to be minimized or maximized..

Hope this helps!

I see thresher_shark hade the same idea. (EE has been dead for the last 30 minutes, so I ddin't see his rsponse at the time) Actually, no I think he has it backwards He is trying to cause minimization, that's not what you want is it?

thresher_shark

Yes I had it backwards. I have recieved an email from mcoroli.
