I'm still having problems with a dialog box coming up when I'm minimized.
I don't want it to come up if I'm minimized.  The following fragment runs
off a WM_TIMER case as one of the things that gets checked at a specified
interval.  I don't want the dialog box to pop up if I'm minimized, but it
seems to come up anyway.  Can someone tell me how to make it right?

	ulStyle = WS_MINIMIZED;
	ulStyle &= WinQueryWindowULong(hwnd,QWL_STYLE);
	if ((ulStyle != WS_MINIMIZED) && (ShowControls == TRUE))
		{
		ShowControls = FALSE;
		WinDlgBox(hwnd, hwnd, PlayerDlgProc, (HMODULE) NULL, DFA_PlayerControl, NULL);
	}

This seems like a roundabout way of checking for minimize, but it LOOKS
correct.  Are you sure that ShowControls==TRUE?  Have you tried CodeView-ing
it to watch the control flow (i.e. maybe your WinDlgBox call is failing?)?
