Post Message API .......

[mallet]

(1) I have code that during form_Initialize minimizes all applications via this line:

Call PostMessage(lngHwnd, WM_COMMAND, MIN_ALL, 0&)

(I found this code snippet in an older post here at VBWorld)

Next I want just my app to appear in it's normal state. I can get a handle on my app BUT what are the values that I have to pass to PostMessage for this happen?

(2) Can you please tell me of any API value resources, i.e., tables of values, with descriptions?

Thanks a million.

Q1:

I have posted the MinimizeAll/RestoreAll code before and if you've noticed, it does minimize your program as well. You can restore just your program if you want though.

Private Sub RestoreMe(frm As Form)
'Use this after you minimize all to restore only your program
  Dim lngHwnd As Long
  lngHwnd = findwindow(frm.hwnd, vbNullString)
  Call PostMessage(lngHwnd, WM_COMMAND, MIN_ALL_UNDO, 0&)
End Sub
