    Unhappy System Tray Problem

    I've docked my program to the system tray. and whenever the icon gets double-clicked a dialog appears. But when I minimize the dialog box (I've set the dialog to close when the minimize button gets pressed) and reopen it, the dialog it isn't focused. I've tried enablewindow(). If anyone knows a function or anything that can activate a dialog box. could please reply thanks.

    Unhappy Doesn't work

    I've tried that it just makes the bar on the start menu flash, it doesn't make the dialog box active thanks anyway.

    If you'd mentioned this in your original post it would have been clearer what the problem was and you wouldn't have had to wait so long before someone suggested you try ShowWindow.

    How are you using ShowWindow?

    Code:
    ShowWindow(myHwnd,SW_RESTORE);

    Not that I have anything to contribute, but I'd just like to point out that lots of programs do it... like Norton Antivirus, MSN Messenger, volume control... I think it probably IS possible
    Just Google It. √
