Hi all,

I want to hide my application when it started, and I add:

C++

this->Hide();

into OnLoad event, but it cannot be hidden. I can add

C++

this->Hide();

into Activate event, but I don't want add this code into Activate event. So, Do you know how to add

C++

this->Hide();

into Load event?

Thank you

Solution 1

You could put it into the "Shown" event handler

But it will be hidden every it shown? I don't want, I want it just hidden once time when form is loaded, thank you

That doesn't make any sense !?! Please explain more about what you want to do.

EDIT:
Perhaps your are misunderstanding? The Shown event only fires once when the form is first shown.

Solution 2

If its a plain win32 application (non mfc) then just dont use the window style WS_VISIBLE in your CreateWindow function.

if it is an MFC application then follow the link[^]
