 Adding a minimize button to an existing dialog based app

Could someone explain how I can add the ability to minimize to
an existing dialog based application I have written?  I'm rather
new to Visual C++ and don't know how to do this.

Thanks!!

What version of VC++ are you using?

If your using VC++ 4.x or 5.x then all you need to do is go into the
appstudio specify you dialog has a minimize button, then in the
OnInitDialog function call the SetIcon function

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying.  I played around with it a
bit more with no luck.  Could you be a bit more specific as to how
I go about adding a minimize button to the dialog based app?

Not sure but maybe go to properties of dialog box, then under one of the
option tabs choose "minimize button." Not sure though.

Hi Sam,

  This is quite a simple process. Open the resource editor, under the Dialog
tree open the dialog box of the dialog based application. Right click on the
box and open the properties box. Go to the second tab named styles and check
the box for Minimize Box. This adds up the minimize button to the dialog
box.

Hope this helps
