Keeping main window hidden

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Hi,
In Win32lib is it possible to keep the main window hidden? The reason
I want to do this is because of the way my application works, any of
the windows can be closed and reopened so none of them is suitable to
be the main window (the one supplied to WinMain).

What I'm doing at the moment is making the window with zero height
and width and giving it the WS_POPUP style. However, it still shows
up on the alt-tab list. A way to hide it from the alt-tab list is to
make it invisible:

showWindow(wndEventProcessor,SW_HIDE)

but this must be done after the window has been opened and it
doesn't seem to work in the onOpen event, I suppose it could be done
on a timer but this seems a very messy way of doing things.
