I have a simple SDI application that constructs CDialog-based objects & calls DoModal() on them. Everything is fine except that 3 dialogs are not just for data entry with a OK & a Cancel button. These 3 dialogs process records in a database & show a progress bar as they proceed. Whilst they are busy reading records & updating the progress bar, the users can click on the Minimize('_') button of the MainFrame and it send the whole app to the taskbar with no way of restoring it (until the Dialog ends).
I have trying catching the Minimize button with OnSysCommand in the MainFrame, but it never sends the message there (only when the MainFrame is the active window)
I know I can avoid the problem by minimizing the MainFrame before calling DoModal, but that raises other issues.
Any ideas ? (I suspect it has something to do with the Dialog being busy but the MainFrame is idle) Spencer Window (not a joke name)
