 Updating the Taskbar from a dialog based app

If you mean you want to put the dialog box in the taskbar and it's not
already there, add a minimize button to it in your resource. If you mean you
want to refresh the taskbar, I think you have to send WM_PAINT message to
the taskbar window.

 Updating the Taskbar from a dialog based app

I've figured out my problem. Somehow I've messed up the icon. The command
        m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME);
does not return a valid handle.

I had redrawn the icon to be my apps unique icon and somehow I've messed it
up.

Thanks for you time and response.

 Updating the Taskbar from a dialog based app

Oops, I'm wrong again.

The problem is that I'm creating a dialog without a titlebar. If I put the
titlebar back in, the taskbar gets updated correcty.

My new question is how do I update the taskbar if I do not use the
titlebar.
