don`t show icon when window`s iconified

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 12/20/2001 - 12:41. Developers
In my application, I`m creating my own taskbar to pop up and down my application windows. How do I make it so the default icon does not appear when the window is iconified...

Thanks

Interesting. I`m not sure you can handle the general case; in the specific case, you can get the cooperation of the window manager -- for example, twm lets you specify which windows are not to receive icons.

For the general case, you need the protocols specified in the ICCCM document. I think the closest that you can get is to specify your own icon window -- and that window can be similar to your taskbar or resemble it in some way such that the user is reminded to de-iconify the window.
