I have a dialog based MFC application that executes the .DoModal () in
theApp.

I want to have the window come up with the  last known (saved in
registery) x, y, width, height parameters and hidden.  I have tried
the follwing line in many different places but in all case the window
comes up visable.  I want to "HIDE" it on start up.

Please help?????

I should have looked first.  I found the answer in an earlier post on
the same subjuct
