[RESOLVED] Maximise active window

[chris128]

Hi Guys,

Anyone got any idea how to use an API to maximise whatever program currently has focus?
This is what I have so far:

Private Declare Function GetForeGroundWindow Lib "user32" Alias "GetForegroundWindow" () As IntPtr
 
Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" Alias "ShowWindow" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long
 
Private Const SW_MAXIMIZE = 3

Then I'm using it like this:

ShowWindow(GetForeGroundWindow, SW_MAXIMIZE)

However, that just makes the active window dissapear for some reason... it doesnt close it, the process still remains running but it just hides the window

Anyone got any better methods or point out what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers
Chris
