Show and Hide a new IDD_FORMVIEW

Hi,

How could I control when to show and hide my new created FormView, especially to close it? I think it is different from showing and hiding a new dialog, am I right?

Seek for your help. Thanks.

Can anyone help me on this?

I am using doc/view. I display bitmap graphics on my view. But then when I open another types of graphics, I want to display it on another new dialog (but I insert IDD_FORMVIEW instead). This formview was called once I start my application automatically and it can display other graphic. But when I open bitmap graphic, it doesn't appear. I suppose it is covered by the formview.

So how can I close the formview and display it only when other graphics are opened?

Please help. Thanks.

Hmm your requirement seems unclear and confusing...what is being covered by what? why do you want to close the formview and display it only when other graphics are opened?

Hi,

As far as i can understand, you have a main view which is covered fully
by the Formview when you want to display an image. Right ?

You are displaying bitmaps in your main view, but when other image types
are to be opened, you open the form view to fill your view size and show
the image there. Right ?

If both the above scenarios are true, before you Show the formview, check
the type of image being opened. If it is a bitmap, dont show the formview
and if it is some other image type, show the formview.

This is as far as i can understand your question. Please post your code
here if possible so that we can take a look at it right away.
