Method Reference

WinSetState

Shows, hides, minimizes, maximizes, or restores a window

WinSetState "title", "text", flag

Parameters

title The title of the window to show.
text The text of the window to show.
flag The "show" flag of the executed program:
SW_HIDE = Hide window
SW_SHOW = Shows a previously hidden window
SW_MINIMIZE = Minimize window
SW_MAXIMIZE = Maximize window
SW_RESTORE = Undoes a window minimization or maximization

Return Value

None.

Remarks

WinSetState is a replacement for the badly named WinShow function. WinShow is accepted as an alias but this may be withdrawn in the future.

If multiple windows match the criteria, the most recently active window is used.
SW_MINIMIZE and SW_MAXIMIZE even work on modal dialog windows.
