Display exe at task bar

[MFCQuery]

I create a dialog base application which contains 2 dialogs.
on first dialog there is a button. When i click on that button, i display second dialog and hide first dialog. When second dialog display and i minimize it, the exe does not display at task bar. Can i do something to display exe at task bar for that case?


dialog1-> button click function

button_click()
{
dialog1.hide()
display dialog2 (call its do modal)
}

Sounds like you specify the first dialog as the second's parent. Set NULL parent instead for the second dialog.

What Igor Sir said was absolutely correct.

When you set your second dialog with no parent you will get an entry in taskbar for this dialog, moreover you discovered a tricky thing which may be useful to you later.

You made an application which is not showing on taskbar. Isn't it ?. I posted similar a fews months ago regarding "Application with no taskbar entry".

I tried to set parent as NULL for second dialog but it's not working. I do not found exe at task bar.
Is there any example?
Well i did not find the post "Application with no taskbar entry".

Turn on "Application Window" TRUE from property for your 2nd Dialog. And make sure that you are creating 2nd dialog with Create instead of DoModal.

I am using DoModal() to display second dialog.
Is it not possible if i display second dialog using DoModal and hide first dialog?

thanks for reply
i got a way to do this
before calling domodal of any dialog pass its address to main window. before closing dialog pass previous dialog address to main window.I believe it will not clean any data of previous dialog when next dialog display
