Hi !

This could be a question of RTFM - so ......

How can I change the appearance of a minimized modeless dialog-box ?
At the moment all I get is a white square with the caption below.

I tried something like this:

   if (IsIconic(hWndDlg))
   {
   hDC = BeginPaint(hWndDlg, &ps);
   DrawIcon(hDC, ps.rcPaint.left, ps.rcPaint.top, hIcon);
   EndPaint(hWndDlg, &ps);
   }

This routine is in the WM_PAINT part of the parent window (?????).

Thanks for any pointers !
