I have a MDI Parent in which I display a dialog box. When user minimize the
dialog I want the whole MDI window to be minimized.

Your help greatly apreciated.

Thanks,

You need to look up the sys command messages in the Platform SDK, you can
trap these messages by overriding the WndProc method of the MDI Form (and
child forms).

One more thing: once you override the WndProc method, you **MUST** call the
bass class WndProc (unless you want to consume a message), otherwise you
will have serious issues.

Call MyBase.WndProc( m )
