Seems weird that you're using TYPE_CONTROL here. I think TYPE_WINDOW_FRAMELESS
would make more sense.

Done.

nit: spacing

nit: you shouldn't need the IsVisible() check, just hide.

How come you stopped checking for active?

Too many implementations of the same thing. Done.

Since you have show on 143, is this necessary?

Done.
