Gui PARENT, canno't MINIMIZE-RESTORE

[Luigi]

Greetings,

(sorry my english)

I cannot to minimize a secondary GUI.
How do it?
I need SLAVE's GUI to be a MASTER's parent.
Two buttons on task bar is not good.


#1

Line 63
;$SLAVE = GUICreate($aSLAVE[0], $aSLAVE[1], $aSLAVE[2], -1, -1, -1, -1, $MASTER)

Line 64
 $SLAVE = GUICreate($aSLAVE[0], $aSLAVE[1], $aSLAVE[2])

In this case, if you click button SLAVE on task bar, minimize MASTER and SLAVE.
I want minimize everything.
But I want show only one button: MASTER.

 

#2

Line 63
 $SLAVE = GUICreate($aSLAVE[0], $aSLAVE[1], $aSLAVE[2], -1, -1, -1, -1, $MASTER)

Line 64
;$SLAVE = GUICreate($aSLAVE[0], $aSLAVE[1], $aSLAVE[2])

In this case, if you click button MASTER, minimize not work.
But, SLAVE is a parent's MASTER. I want this.

 

Question:

How do make a SLAVE's gui be a MASTER's parent? And click on SLAVE and minimize both?

 

Best regards.
