Maximize a process window

How can I maximize a process window

I am using the Process class in System.Diagnost ics. I can
identify the specific process I want using the window
title after that I want to maximize the window. I can get
the handle for the window using MainWindowHandl e how do I
maximize the window ?

Thanks,
Sanjay

Process[] myProcess;
myProcess = Process.GetProc essesByName("pr ocess_name");

foreach (System.Diagnos tics.Process instance in
myProcess)
{
string windowTitle = instance.MainWi ndowTitle;
if ( windowTitle == "WINDOW_TIT LE" )
{
// How can I maximize the window here ??
void *windowHandle =
instance.MainWi ndowHandle.ToPo inter();
}
}

Re: Maximize a process window

Hi,

Call the SendMessage API function through P/Invoke, sending the WM_MAXIMIZE
message to the main process window. As you already have the MainWindowHandl e
(you don't need to get a pointer from it, by the way), the rest is pretty
straightforward :

1) Declare the SendMessage prototype with the DllImport attribute (please
refer to MSDN for details on this)
2) Find out the numeric value of the WM_MAXIMIZE constant (look it up in the
winuser.h file. You should have one if you have Visual C++ installed)
3) Call the declared SendMessage method passing necessary parameters.
