How to start minimized?

[omerpa]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if you can start an application that has a main windows on the Pocket PC minimized using CF?

Nothing seems to work, I was able to minimized it only after main form showed up.

Thank you,

What exactly do you understand by minimized?

There is no such feature on windows mobile.

You can hide it or send it to background by changing its zorder.

Thank you for your response.

I know there is no minimize - I want to hide it or send it down the Z-Order , however the problem is I can not do it before the main form shows up. If I do it after the form shows, it will create a flicker. I simply want the app to start and not show its main window.

Is it possible?

You need to exclude the WS_VISIBLE style when creating your window.
