If you're experiencing issues with minimizing a borderless dialog in your application, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

  1. Check Dialog Properties: Ensure that the properties of the dialog are set correctly. Make sure that the "MinimizeButton" property is set to true and that the "BorderStyle" property is set to "None" or "FixedDialog" (if applicable).

  2. Capture Minimize Event: Make sure you are capturing the minimize event correctly in your code. If you're using a custom button or method to minimize the dialog, ensure that the code to handle the minimize event is properly implemented.

  3. Window State Management: Ensure that you are correctly managing the window state of the dialog. You should be able to set the WindowState property of the form/dialog to Minimized programmatically.

  4. Focus Issues: Sometimes, issues with minimizing can be related to focus. Ensure that there are no focus-related conflicts or events that are preventing the dialog from being minimized properly.

  5. Testing on Different Systems: Test your application on different systems (if possible) to see if the issue is specific to your environment or if it's reproducible on multiple machines.

  6. Debugging: Use debugging tools and breakpoints to step through your code and identify any points where the minimizing behavior might be affected. Check for any exceptions or errors that might occur during the minimizing process.

  7. Update Libraries/Frameworks: If you're using third-party libraries or frameworks for UI development, make sure you're using the latest versions. Sometimes, issues with window management can be resolved by updating to the latest version of the libraries.

  8. Consult Documentation: Refer to the documentation of the UI framework or toolkit you're using for any specific guidance on creating and managing borderless dialogs.

  9. Consider System Behavior: Keep in mind that some behaviors might be specific to the operating system or UI framework you're using. It's possible that certain behaviors are expected due to the design of the platform.

If you provide more specific details about the technology stack you're using (programming language, UI framework, etc.), I can offer more targeted advice. Additionally, if you're encountering any specific error messages or unexpected behavior, including those details can help in diagnosing the issue more accurately.
