Painting Icons

Environment: Win95, VC4.1

I have an MDI app and I want to hide the main frame and display a =
dialog.  This works fine, but I noticed that the icon that is normally =
on the task bar is missing until I make the main frame visible.  Here is =
where I hide and display the dialog:

BOOL CHideApp::InitInstance()
{
	.
	.
	.
	// The main window has been initialized, so show and update it.
	//pMainFrame->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow);
	pMainFrame->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
	pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();

	pMainFrame->PostMessage(WM_COMMAND, ID_INPUT_AUXINPUT);
	return TRUE;
}

Anybody know how I can paint the icon?  As far as I can tell, a hidden =
window doesn't get any WM_PAINTs...

Thanks!
David

I guess, what you really want is to minimize the frame window
pMainFrame->ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE)
Maybe your dialog should have not the frame as it's parent, so
that will not be minimized too.
