Handle Rdp ActiveX minimize event

Question

I've developed a simple .net form application where I've embedded the RdpClient ActiveX. To reproduce the application, you have to:

'Add Reference' and select COM
include 'Microsoft Terminal Services Control Type Library'
select the ToolBox, 'Choose Items...' and go to 'COM Components' tab
look for 'Microsoft RDP Client Control - version 6' (this is the version I've used)

Now you can drop this Control on the form. Handle the form Shown event with this code

axMsRdpClient6.FullScreen = true;
axMsRdpClient6.Server = "yourserver";
axMsRdpClient6.Connect();

Then when the rdpclient window appear, click the minimize button on the top bar.

My question is: why the event AxMSTSCLib.AxMsRdpClient7.OnRequestContainerMinimize is not fired when minimize button is clicked?

I need to handle when the user minimize the client to take peculiar actions (write log files, activate other windows application and so on).

I've found the answer in MSDN

This method will only be called if the container-handled full-screen mode is enabled - see IMsTscAdvancedSettings::put_ContainerHandledFullScreen for more information.
