Hi Ulrich,
I wrote a module to adapt any dialog to close if it lost focus.
You can probably change the closing action to minimize action. The way I am
doing it is by creating a timer and checking whether any of the controls in
the dialog has focus. If none of them have it then the dialog is not in
focus anymore and I close it. I have pasted it below for your reference if
that helps.
Regards,
Milind
