minimize a window

[PB&J Lover]

How do you force a window to minimize when you do something like RUNPROGRAM()?

Thanks

Code: Select all

RunProgram ("NotePad.exe")
ShowWindow_(GetForegroundWindow_(),#SW_MINIMIZED)

I'm getting a "constant not found error."

Which window will that minimize?

The window I want to minimize is the program window that launches the other app. I should have been more clear.

Thanks.

Sorry.

Use this...

Code: Select all

RunProgram ("NotePad.exe")
ShowWindow_(GetForegroundWindow_(),#SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED	)

[PB&J Lover]

Cool.

I fixed it. It was

ShowWindow_(GetForegroundWindow_(),#SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)

and it works now.

Thanks!

Yes, I wanted to MINIMIZE the window. You first example was missing the SHOW part of the constant.

I wasn't clear, but it works now. Thanks.
