on suspend hide stack "Toolbar" end suspend

# Description

Handle the suspend message if you want to perform some action when the application is made inactive.

The suspend message is sent whenever the user switches to another program.

The actual switch is not triggered by the suspend message, so trap the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the user from switching out of the application.
