First, you have to pass the right SW_ code to ShowWindow, not the value Windows passes you.

The second thing is that you have to field the message that asks if it's ok to open the window from an icon (WM_QUERYOPENICON or something close), and respond with the value that says 'no thanks'. -- Barry Press Internet: press@venice.sedd.trw.com
