Starting app with hidden window
You must reset the visibility-flag in the window's CREATESTRUCT correctly
BEFORE Create()ing it. You might do it in the PreCreateWindow()-function of
your window-class, which then should contain:
virtual BOOL myWnd::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT &cs)
{
if( !CWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) ) // enter your specific base class
instead of CWnd
return FALSE;
cs.style &= ~WS_VISIBLE; // now the primary state is "hidden"
return TRUE;

}
You might also mask it out when calling the Create()-function by setting its
dwStyle-Parameter as you wish.
