**ICONIZE**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **ICONIZE** attribute (PROP:ICONIZE) specifies the APPLICATION or WINDOW is opened minimized as the icon specified by the ICON attribute. When an APPLICATION or non-MDI WINDOW is minimized, the icon //file// is displayed in the operating system's desktop; when a WINDOW with the MDI attribute is minimized, the icon //file// is displayed in the APPLICATION.

With the SYSTEM built-in variable as the property assignment //target, //PROP:ICONIZE returns 1 if the Windows PIF setting for the application is set to open the application iconized.

**Example:**

** !A Window with a minimize button, opened as the icon:**

**Win2 WINDOW,ICON('MyIcon.ICO'),****ICONIZE**

**     END**
