Q: Smart Minimize and MFC Dialog Based App

Shigeo Kiriyam #1 / 4	Q: Smart Minimize and MFC Dialog Based App Hello Everyone, I have a question. I created a dialog based app with MFC app wizard. By default, it displays "Done" button (OK in a circle). So I replaced it with "Smart Minimize" button by adding the following code in OnInitDialog() handler. SHDoneButton(m_hWnd, SHDB_HIDE); Now "X" in a circle button is displayed in stead of "Done" button. It works fine most of the time. My app is minimized and still running (I confirmed this with Remote Process Viewer.) HOWEVER when there is only my app running, smart minimizing it does NOT update the main screen area (where Today screen should appear). Today's menu bar (with "New" menu item) appears but the main portion of the screen still shows my app's dialog. What am I doing wrong here? It's really simple app (I added only one line to App Wizard's skelton code). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Shigeo Kiriyama Nikon Instruments Inc.

Alexander Shargi #4 / 4	Q: Smart Minimize and MFC Dialog Based App There is a much simplier solution than the one described in that article. Go to the resource editor, open your dialog and change its style from Style:Popup to Style:Overlapped. Popup dialogs with NULL parent are owned by today screen while overlapped are not. That's why popup dialogs shroud today window. -- Sincerely, Alexander http://www.RSDN.ru - Russian Software Developer Network Quote: > Hi > your dialog-based application is not friendly to today screen.
