CBaseWindow::InactivateWindow (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

Effectively hides the window (if it was visible).

Syntax

virtual HRESULT InactivateWindow( );

Parameters

None.

Return Value

Returns NOERROR if successful; S_FALSE if the window is not currently active.

Remarks

The base window class creates a window and a worker thread.

The worker thread is responsible for pulling messages from the window's input queue and dispatching them as appropriate.

The window and its thread are created by CBaseWindow::PrepareWindow and destroyed in CBaseWindow::DoneWithWindow.

The window should be initialized through CBaseWindow::InitialiseWindow and uninitialized through CBaseWindow::UninitialiseWindow.

Having prepared a window and initialized it, the window can be sized using CBaseWindow::ActivateWindow and subsequently hidden using CBaseWindow::InactivateWindow.
