I'm having trouble getting a window in my application to miniaturize when
PowerPoint is open in full screen mode. The window counts down to zero, when
it hits zero, it should miniaturize itself to the dock. This works as
expected unless PowerPoint is also running in full screen mode. The
miniaturize message is ignored and the countdown window stays on top. I have
to click on the countdown window and manually miniaturize it. In the code
after the miniaturize message is sent, I ask the window if it is
miniaturized and it returns no. How can I get the window to miniaturize even
when PowerPoint is open?

Unfortunately you can't; when an app is in fullscreen mode, the Dock is hidden, and the Dock doesn't support miniaturizing windows when it's hidden. -[NSWindow miniaturize] will be a no-op in this case.
