taskbar icon disappears when loading second dialog

[kunai]

Hi,

I have a dialog based mfc application.

The first dialog shows up find with the taskbar "button/icon". But then it goes away when i hide the first and show the second dialog. i.e. my application is running but i don't see it on the taskbar.

Here the code i use on an OnOk button click:

CMenu menuDlg;
menuDlg.DoModal();

Also tried this:

CWnd *mainWnd = AfxGetMainWnd();
CDialog::OnCancel();
CMenu menuDlg;
mainWnd = &menuDlg;
menuDlg.DoModal();

Any ideas how to fix this please?

Thank You

Where do i find that?

In VS.Net, there's a property called "Application Window" that if you turn it into true, it will display an icon in the taskbar for it. I'm not sure what it is in VC6, but there should be something similar there.

found something for VC++6

ModifyStyleEx(0, WS_EX_APPWINDOW);
