Hello Everyone,

I would like to autohide my dialog application so that when the user clicks the cross button it goes to the taskbar.

Please help, how can I do this in MFC/C++

I suppose you mean that your application should go to the system tray ? If yes, check this article[^]

C#

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

C++.Net

this->WindowState=FormWindowState::Minimized;

Solution 1

A dialog will receive a WM_CLOSE message in this case,
so you could handle the event in your own manner... :)
