When a SideShow application receives the WM_HIBERNATE message, the application should attempt to release as many resources as possible. It is recommended that the application stop the SideShow service to flush the gadget cache.
After stopping the service, there are two possibilities for exiting this state. The first is that the application receives a WM_ACTIVATE message and restarts the SideShow service. The second possibility is that the application receives a WM_CLOSE message, in which case the application should exit.
Code examples for stopping and restarting the SideShow service can be found in the ToggleSideShowService sample. For more information about handling low-memory conditions, see WM_HIBERNATE.
