Use c++ to hide a program in taskbar

I want to make a program to hide a window in the taskbar (e.g. 'Warcraft III') when user presses F12, etc.

Is this possible? Any ideas? Thanks

Hmmm, seems to me, as you probably can't write this functionality into Warcraft III, that you would ahve to write that function as a daemon in your OS (Windows=service). This would also override your currrent F12 functionality, but I'm pretty sure you could just change the key mapping from Windows key + D to be F12.
