Edit - Sorry if the DLL didn't work had a wrong setting when I compiled, should work now.

Don't know if this one exists in the Blitz forums. Pretty much hides a currently running window.

Also in the code archives at http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=2328

Description: Use to hide/show a window currently running. Use the HideWindow function once putting the "hidewindow.dll" and "hidewindow.decls" files in the Blitz3D\UserLibs folder. HideWindow takes one parameter f_procName$ which is the name of the TITLE of the window. Also use ShowWindow the same way.

Example Code:

 

;Can change Title$ to whatever you want to hide.

AppTitle "HideWindow Example"

		Title$ = "HideWindow Example"
		
		Result% = HideWindow(Title$)

  If Result%

		Print Title$ + " hidden!"
		
  Else

		Print "Failed to hide " + Title$
		
  End If


		Delay 2000
		
		Print
		
		Result% = ShowWindow(Title$)

  If Result%

		Print Title$ + " shown!"
		
  Else

		Print "Failed to show " + Title$
		
  End If


		Print
		Print "Press any key to quit."
		Print
		
		WaitKey
		End

Hope it helps!
