    Talking another ? from gcn the idiot!

    how do you make a minimized program pop up when such = 0 like this

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <windows.h>
    
    int main()
    {
          int minutes;
          minutes=90;
          while(minutes > 0)
          {
                              Sleep(60000);
                              minutes-=1;
                              cout << minutes << " minutes left!" << endl;
          }
          //I want it to pop up here
          cout << "YOUR TIME IS UP!!!!" << endl;
          system("PAUSE");
          return 0;
    }

    i think you could create a window class for that window and use the ShowWindow() function, but dont quote me.

    ShowWindow(YourWindowHwnd, SW_MINIMIZE);

    in the beginning and

    ShowWindow(YourWindowHwnd, SW_RESTORE);

    This will simply minimize/restore it. If you want it completely hidden use SW_HIDE and SW_SHOW.

    Or you could wait with the creation of the window after those 90 minutes have passed.
