How to hide window when the app starts ?

[capint]

I have an app with an icon on system tray. I want to hide the window (just let the icon appear). I tried to use dlg->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE)instead of DoModal() but when the icon appears, it's useless (when we move the mouse to it, it disappears). Someone plz give me a solution, thanks :rose:

Can you set visible style on the property of window?

Do you mean setting the visible property to false ? I did so but there's no effect :(
