Re: App without visible window / running background

Hello,

I have an application that will run in background and won't show a window.

I have a dialog, which I use to perform the actions my app needs to do.

I've tested my app with the wizard generated InitInstance() method:

BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance()
{
   CWinAppEx::InitInstance();
   SetRegistryKey(_T("MyCompany"));

   CMyDlg dlg;
   m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
   INT_PTR nResponse = dlg.DoModal();
   if (nResponse == IDOK)
   {
        // TODO: Place code here to handle when the dialog is
        // dismissed with OK
   }
   else if (nResponse == IDCANCEL)
   {
        // TODO: Place code here to handle when the dialog is
        // dismissed with Cancel
   }

   return FALSE;
}

Now I need to stop showing the main window, and the code above shows the
dialog modally. How I can do it? Can I show the CDialog derived class
object hidden? I think that would solve the problem.

After the line
   m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
I tried
dlg.ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

But I got ASSERT errors.
