C# Windows Forms Application update when minimized

Question

Hi!

I have a windows forms application where i add the mainloop in the constructor of the form like this:

      Application.Idle += new EventHandler(Update);

that works fine - however, my update function is not called when I minimize the application window. What do I need to do in order to get my update function called also while the window is minimized?

I'd have to try this to be sure, but my first guess is to wire up the form Resize event, and in the handler, check to see if the form is minimized...
