How to make the form hide when click MinimizeBox?

hi, one way is to check the form state in the form resize event and hide it if the state is minimized.

but it seem Minimize also. Has a simple Method that the form hide only

You need to catch the click on that button, which means you're probably going to catch the state change. So, restore it again, as well as hiding it.

Hello, You could override the WndProc method like this. But be aware that you will not see the Form in taskbar and the user has no chance to make the form visible again unless you provide some functionality.

	const int WM\_SYSCOMMAND = 0x112;
	const int SC\_MINIMIZE = 0xF020;

	protected override void WndProc( ref Message m )
	{
		if( m.Msg == WM\_SYSCOMMAND )
		{
			if( m.WParam.ToInt32() == SC\_MINIMIZE )
			{
				this.Hide();
				return;
			}
		}
		base.WndProc( ref m );
	}

Hope it helps! P.S.: Luc, I know that it is bad, too influent the behaviour of standard form, but I can't resist ansering the questions! :)

All the best, Martin

Sure, you could also minimize the form when the Close Box is hit, and close it when the Minimize Box is hit. Why not ? You do want a special app, dont you ? :-D
