Hello,

I have a dialog based app in which I want to hide the main window when the
user hits the minimize button (it's using a tray icon). I can't seem to
find a message that corresponds to this event. I tried OnShowWindow, but
that doesn't happen when the dialog is minimized. If anyone can tell me how
to do this (it must be possible), I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

Simply grab the WM_SIZE message and then check if the app is minimizing.

Here is an example to simply do it with a Window app.... you can simply change
this for dialogs if you like.

void CMainFrame::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
        CFrameWnd::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
        if( nType == SIZE_MINIMIZED ){
                AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow( SW_HIDE );
        }
