Not completely sure I'm following you on this, but PFW follows the standard 
Windows menu conventions.  If you build a main menu containing a &Window menu
(note the accelerator), the Windows automatically appends a list of the open 
child windows.
 
There was a change in the way hidden windows were handled.  In 4.5 and 1.0, 
this appened list would include hidden forms, but so many developers griped 
about not being able to hide things from the user, except by closing the 
form, the behavior of hidden forms was modified so they wouldn't appear on 
this list.  Unfortunately, that's a pain for those of use that used to rely 
on that behavior.  
 
I think there's a way you can get there, though, though I can't think of it 
off the top of my head.  Let me try a couple of things and post a reply 
ater.
 
Hoping to help...
