hi all..

i'm triying to restore a window that is minimized. i have the handle of the process and i can get the hwnd of the window with GethWndFromProcessID.
But im using SetWindowPos to get the windows, but if the proccess if minimized it get the focus but remain minimized... i want to restore it to it previous state.. maybe there is an api i didnt find around it to do it???

my parameter to SetWindowPos are hVentana, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, TOPMOST_FLAGS

hventana = handle to the window
HWND_TOP = Places the window at the top of the Z order.
TOPMOST_FLAGS =

SWP_SHOWWINDOW = Displays the window. OR
SWP_NOMOVE = Retains the current position (ignores the X and Y parameters). OR
SWP_NOSIZE = Retains the current size (ignores the cx and cy parameters).

SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long

looks like the parameters are wrong, but at least i get to change the focus to that windows...

any idea??? or any other api???

Did you try:

Public Declare Function OpenIcon Lib "user32" Alias "OpenIcon" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

This is the MSDN: The OpenIcon function restores a minimized (iconic) window to its previous size and position; it then activates the window.

hi marco..

just try it.. but no luck... it doesnt restore the window...

i forgot to mention that the function to restore the window is in a dll outside the main exe (dont know if this make that work diferent, but worth the advice)...

thanks in advance...
