| | start the sidebar programmatically in a hidden mode I need to start the sidebar programmatically [ ShellExecute/CreateProcess]. However, I just want the sidebar icon to appear in the systray. The actual sidebar windows should not be visible. I tried using ShowWindow(hWnd,SW_HIDE). Sidebar doesn't respond to it. |

Sidebar doesn't respond to it. You could perhaps start the process and send a 'close' command to it (ie the programmatic equivalent of choosing 'Close sidebar') -- Jon |
