Minimize a dll form

[Peter]

I have an application in Access 2000 that runs a custom
dll written in VB6. One method in the dll shows a form.
I wish to make the form minimize if the user minimizes
the Access Application Window.

The VB6 Show method seems to offer a way to do this. I
use something like frmTestForm.Show vbModal, OwnerForm in
the dll, but cannot find how to make OwnerForm refer to
the Access Application Window.

Anybody know how to do it?

You can use the WinAPI function SetParent to specify the parent as
non-VB6 Form. To get the MS Office app's hwnd, make that applicatio
topmost, use the Access.Application function hWndAccessApp().

Hope that helps
