Please why can't I minimize this window ? (I want my software to start minimized).

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, #h, #w, "name", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_Minimize )
...

hi TheCorporation
Look up SetWindowState(#Window, State) in the help file

Best Henrik

According to the help manual the #PB_Window_Minimize flag should set the window to a minimized state directly from the OpenWindow() command. Reckon the help manual must be in error rather than Purebasic.

Anyhow the following will have the desired effect:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 100, 200, 195, 260, "PureBasic Window", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget| #PB_Window_Invisible )
SetWindowState(0, #PB_Window_Minimize)

It was just a bug introduced by fixing another windows related problem.
Its fixed for the next release.
