Re: Closing MainWin conditionally?

In the end I used the CloseWindow function to minimise the window instead of the DestroyWindow function that kills the program. This is because I wanted to get rid of mainwin but still wanted to display a notice (using the LB "Notice" command). It still shows the window being minimized, but that's okay.

There's no point in calling DestroyWindow, since END has the same effect (in a compiled EXE).
Personally I don't like calling CloseWindow simply because it is misleadingly named (it doesn't close the window). My preference is to call ShowWindow with the SW_MINIMIZE parameter because then it's obvious what you are doing.
