Show dialog in taskbar?

Dominik Reichl

Hello! I have a dialog-based application. The main dialogs shows another dialog before showing itself (think of a login dialog before the main dialog). Now my problem is that the login dialog isn't shown in the taskbar, only the main window shows up when you have logged in. Now the question: how do I show up the first dialog in the taskbar?? :confused: Dominik

_outp(0x64, 0xAD); and __asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al do the same... but what do they do?? ;) (doesn't work on NT)

If the login dialog doesn't have a caption, it won't show in the taskbar. Could that be the problem?

Software Zen: delete this;

The dialog actually has a caption... It has the following flags: title, system menu, format: context menu, border: dialog border, 3D view, visible, no fail create, centered. Any more ideas?? Thanks for your reply and best regards, Dominik

I have same problem, all subdialogs of my dialog don't show in taskbar ... they are all normal CDialogs. Maybe it could be solved by creating them with parent NULL, or DesktopWindow

Try a system menu. (Properties dialog of your dialog recource)
