EVENT_APPLICATION_MINIMIZE

Hi,

 

following the discussion here it turns out that at present there is some ambiguity in using the taskbar button of applications created with CVI: Clicking on the taskbar button gives the visual impression of minimizing all panels of the application, in fact the panels are just hidden, not minimized. As a result, the application will behave differently if you really minimize panels using the _ panel button, or if you hide the panels by clicking on the taskbar. In the latter case the new EVENT_PANEL_MINIMIZE event does not get triggered and the application cannnot know that all panels are hidden (for the user appearing to be minimized). Hence this new event is required to complement this functionality.
