GetWindowPlacement Api

[Skatebone]

Hey guys sorry for reposting after half an hour but got a new problem with this api in Vb9.

I Cant find what i am doing wrong xD

The Code works perfectly but im always getting the same value of 1 and 0. When the window is on i get a 1 and when the window is closed i get 0.

I need to know when the firm is Normal , Maximized or Minimized. Tnx alot

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class Form1
    Private Structure POINTAPI
        Public x As Integer
        Public y As Integer
    End Structure

    Private Structure RECT

        Public Left As Integer
        Public Top As Integer
        Public Right As Integer
        Public Bottom As Integer
    End Structure


    Private Structure WINDOWPLACEMENT

        Public Length As Integer
        Public flags As Integer
        Public showCmd As Integer
        Public ptMinPosition As POINTAPI
        Public ptMaxPosition As POINTAPI
        Public rcNormalPosition As RECT

    End Structure
    Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32.dll" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Integer
    Private Declare Function GetWindowPlacement Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByRef lpwndpl As WINDOWPLACEMENT) As Integer

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim wp As WINDOWPLACEMENT
        Dim iHwnd As Integer

        iHwnd = FindWindow("notepad", vbNullString)
        wp.Length = Marshal.SizeOf(wp)

        Dim x As Integer

        x = GetWindowPlacement(iHwnd, wp)
        Me.Text = x
    End Sub
End Class

Nvm solved

Pinvoke does magics with api xD

It is a good habit to consult msdn too whenever you are trying to use an API: GetWindowPlacement Function.

This way you kind of learn to read C syntax but more importantly the remarks section there is often very helpful. Also, the list with related functions on the left can give you interesting new ideas to toy with other programs.

Then you 'cheat' with Pinvoke.net.
