ShowWindow (...., SW_SHOWMINIMIZED) not working

[some random dude]

I have this:

ShowWindow (hWndC [0], SW_SHOWNORMAL);
ShowWindow (hWndC [1], SW_SHOWMINIMIZED);

The first window is shown good and normal. But the second window is shown at the top left of my window, under my menu. Picture:

you can see the bottom of it.

In the window procedure for those windows I have it so if I close the window it will minimize it instead using this:

case WM_CLOSE: ShowWindow (hWnd, SW_SHOWMINIMIZE); return 0; break;

And that works perfectly, the window gets minimized to the bottom of my parent window.

Does anyone know why the SW_SHOWMINIMIZED isn't working for that one window?

There is a diference between SW_SHOWMINIMIZED and SW_SHOWMINIMIZE

Oh sorry I ment SW_SHOWMINIMIZED, SW_SHOWMINIMIZE doesn't exist. I get an error when I use it :P

edit:

Alright I did this:

case WM_CREATE:
if (!CreateChildWindows (hWnd))
{
	MessageBox (hWnd, "MDI Failed", NULL, NULL);
	DestroyWindow (hWnd);
}
ShowWindow (hWndC [0], SW_SHOWNORMAL);
break;

case WM_PAINT:
ShowWindow (hWndC [1], SW_SHOWMINIMIZED);
break;

And putting it into WM_PAINT made it work, but I want to know why it wasn't working. Any help?

Post the code if you can - I'll see what I can see.

I already got it working the way I wanted, thanks though.
