Hi,

i generated a dialog based MFC app. I want to hide the window first and open
it on a special event. How do i accomplish this (running it hidden) ?

thx in advance Tobias

dialog boxes dont really do SW_HIDE.
you have to MoveWindow them off the screen.
I usually move them to some negative x position.

In  your apps InitInstance,
add/alter

 // The main window has been initialized, so show and update it.
 pMainFrame->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
 pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();
