It is to hide a window with HideWindow().

But how do i get the state of the window (hide or show). I need a API-Function for this.

Thanks for helping.

Code: Select all

If IsWindowVisible_(handle)=#TRUE
  Debug "Window is visible"
Else
  Debug "Window is invisible"
EndIf

Easiest way is to keep a variable but IsWindowVisible_(WindowID()) may help (not sure if correct one). Here's some info from API-Guide at http://www.allapi.net ...

If the specified window and its parent window have the WS_VISIBLE style, the return value is nonzero.

If the specified window and its parent window do not have the WS_VISIBLE style, the return value is zero. Because the return value specifies whether the window has the WS_VISIBLE style, it may be nonzero even if the window is totally obscured by other windows.
