Window being minimized

[S O S]

How to detect if a window is being minimized? WM_ACTIVATE only seems to say if it's leaving minimized mode + just normal (de)activation.

Take a look at the WM_SYSCOMMAND message. If the wParam parameter is SC_MINIMIZE, then the window is about to be minimized.

Try using the Spy++ utility (found in the VC6 pkg). It's useful for watching the messages that go by when a user action takes place.
