ShowWindow

My minimized program doesn't display when an alarmfunction in the program call ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_MAXIMIZE); What's mising?:confused:

[Lost User]

could you be more explicit ? maybe you should try ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_SHOW)?

I have done a windows prg with an alarm function (checking date and time), then i minimize the prg with the MINIMIZEBOX and the prg should activate and display the window at correct time and date, but it doesnt.t work, I have tried all kind of ShowWindod codes, i think there is something else i'm missing.

void checkalarm() { getTime(date); if (notesamling.alarmchecknotesamling (date)) {ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOW);} } This is the part of the code that should activate and display the window.

i think the problem is no in the ShowWindow(..) function, i'd suggest you to replace it with simple MessageBox("") function just to check that these functions alarmchecknotesamling(..) , getTime(..) are correctly implemented.

void checkalarm()
{
getTime(date);
if (notesamling.alarmchecknotesamling (date))
{
MessageBox("Whatever");
}
}

I have already tried that and it don't work. But the functions work when the prg window is active and displayed. Isn't true that the prg still working in minimized mode or is there any difference.

The problem was in the messages handling, i belive. I changed to PeekMessage from GetMessage. is this Ok? while (true) { if(PeekMessage(&message, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) { TranslateMessage(&message); DispatchMessage(&message); } checkalarm(); // func.to check if the window is to restore } return message.wParam; } return message.wParam; }
