= SUMMARY =

WM_SETVISIBLE is a Windows version 1.00 message that is superseded by the WM_SHOWWINDOW message in version 2.03. The message is still sent for compatibility reasons, but you should use WM_SHOWWINDOW instead (it does everything WM_SETVISIBLE does and more). WM_SETVISIBLE was removed from the documentation to reduce the confusion caused by redundant API and messages.
