Hi,

have you tried...
   PhWindowEvent_t  we;
   memset( &we, 0, sizeof we );
   we.event_f     = Ph_WM_HIDE;
   we.rid         = PtWidgetRid(  ****YOUR_WINDOW_WIDGET_HERE****   );
   we.event_state = Ph_WM_EVSTATE_HIDE;
   PtForwardWindowEvent( &we ); 
?

Hi Thomas, 

Thanks for the help. I could hide my base window using the piece of code suggested by you but I am still not able to 
display a new window in the similar way, within the same callback function. I tried it in the following way-

  PhWindowEvent_t  nwe;
  memset( &nwe, 0, sizeof nwe );
   nwe.event_f     = Ph_WM_FOCUS;
   nwe.rid         = PtWidgetRid(ABW_newwin);
   nwe.event_state = Ph_WM_EVSTATE_FOCUS;
   PtForwardWindowEvent( &nwe );

Can you further help me in figuring what is wrong?
