If you specify conflicting bits (such as both visWSMaximized and visWSMinimized), only one bit is used.

The visWSVisible flag is ignored when setting the state of a window with the WindowState property. It is used in calls to the Add method for the Windows collection. Use the Visible property of the window to show or hide it. The visWSVisible flag is available only when this property is read.
