Having Problems with AnimateWindow

hi

I want to hide my application on certain conditions when the
application is minimized. Till now i was using ShowWindow to achieve
this and it worked fine. Now when I am using the AnimateWindow API the
window gets hidden but the window's entry in the taskbar remains. I am
posting the code that i have written.

void CMainFrame::OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam)
{
if ((nID & 0xFFF0) == SC_MINIMIZE)
{
if(bMinimizeToTray)
{
this->AnimateWindow(200,AW_HIDE |AW_SLIDE | AW_VER_POSITIVE);
// this->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
return;
}
}

CFrameWnd::OnSysCommand(nID, lParam);

What happens if you uncomment line ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) ?

hi

Doesn't make any difference whether i comment or uncomment the ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) line.

i solved the problem myself

void CMainFrame::OnSysCommand(UINT nID, LPARAM lParam)
{
if ((nID & 0xFFF0) == SC_MINIMIZE)
{
if(bMinimizeToTray)
{
this->AnimateWindow(200,AW_HIDE |AW_SLIDE | AW_VER_POSITIVE);
// added these 2 lines
this->ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE);
this->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
return;
}
}

CFrameWnd::OnSysCommand(nID, lParam);
