last API question....

[iwdu15]

ok, thanks for all you who have put up with all my API questions
today....last one (besides my one about adding a Menu Item to the system menu
for all processes....)

I have the handle of a window, i get the icon, hide the window by using

ShowWindow(Hand leHere, SW_HIDE)

and it hides the window, then i add its icon to the system tray. now (i
already added a handler for the notifyicon double click event) i want to
restore the window when its double-clicked. ive attempted

ShowWindow(Hand leHere, SW_SHOW)

but that didnt work, neither did

ShowWindow(Hand leHere, SW_SHOWMAXIMIZE D)

nothing ive tried has worked....OpenI con() hasnt worked either.....how can i
restore the window? thanks

I suggest to post the function declarations you are using.

Re: last API question....

sure, sorry, forgot to do that....


Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" Alias "ShowWindow " (ByVal
hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

Const SW_HIDE As Integer = 0
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL As Integer = 1
Const SW_NORMAL As Integer = 1
Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZE D As Integer = 2
Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZE D As Integer = 3
Const SW_MAXIMIZE As Integer = 3
Const SW_SHOWNOACTIVA TE As Integer = 4
Const SW_SHOW As Integer = 5
Const SW_MINIMIZE As Integer = 6
Const SW_SHOWMINNOACT IVE As Integer = 7
Const SW_SHOWNA As Integer = 8
Const SW_RESTORE As Integer = 9
Const SW_SHOWDEFAULT As Integer = 10
Const SW_FORCEMINIMIZ E As Integer = 11
Const SW_MAX As Integer = 11


then i tried this too

Dim x As New IntPtr(CInt(tra y.Text))

ShowWindow(x.To Int32, SW_SHOW)


thanks a ton for your help

"iwdu15" <jmmgoalsteraty ahoodotcomschri eb:

hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

Your declaration was wrong. Here's the corrected version:

\\\
Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32.dll " ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal nCmdShow As Int32 _
) As Boolean
///

When asking questions about p/invoke, always inclide the declarations you
are using because often declarations are incorrect and lead to problems.
