Visual Basic :: I Need To Maximize A Window Which Is At Minimize State

How To Maximize And Minimize The Window Named "Reminder" Thorugh Code
Hi,

I developed a project in VB6, it checks the database and if the date field matches then, the application will mail the user(i.e Reminder). I compiled this project & placed the Exe in Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel and assign it to run daily at 8:00Am. So it will atumatically run daily. I am getting mails when i test from Project it works fine.

The issue here is, as soon as the 8:00 Am comes the application started running, but it is minmized in the Taskbar,after i click the application from the Taskbar the application starts working & sending mail process is completed.
If i didn't click the application in the Taskbar, that remains in teh minimized state for ever. How to solve this issue.

I hope this could be solved if i click the Application once through code & minimize it again.

Kindly reply me about it & any idea or code sample will be helpful.

Thankyou,
Chock.

Minimize/Maximize

Minimize, Maximize
I need someone to help me with a code i dont if its even possible.
what i need is make a code that will have the options to minimize and maximize the other application

Minimize/Maximize My App With Another App
Ok, after doing some searching, and modifiying the code I found I came up with the code below. It's not quite producing the results I want and I'm not sure why.

Here is the effect I want: When an application's window has focus, my application gets always on top and shows. When the application gets mimized or is not in focus, my application should not longer have always on top applied and show hide. Right now my app will still show when I don't want it to sometimes.

VB Code:
' API's '#####################################'Always on topPrivate Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1Private Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2Private Const SWP_NOMOVE = 2Private Const SWP_NOSIZE = 1Private Const FLAGS = SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long'#####################################'Find topmost windowPrivate Const GW_HWNDNEXT = 2Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As LongPrivate Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" () As Long'##################################### '... inside a timer Dim APPhWnd As Long Dim lngTopWindow As Long ' Check if APP is active window APPhWnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Application Name") lngTopWindow = GetForegroundWindow If lngTopWindow = APPhWnd Or lngTopWindow = Me.hwnd Then ' APP is the top window, make timer program visible and always on top If p_bolAlwaysOnTop = False Then p_bolAlwaysOnTop = True SetWindowPos Me.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, FLAGS Me.Show End If Else ' APP is not on top, hide timer program If p_bolAlwaysOnTop = True Then Call MoveForm("Hide") p_bolAlwaysOnTop = False SetWindowPos Me.hwnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, FLAGS Me.Hide End If End If

If anyone could help I would appreciate it. Or if anyone has a better way of doing whwat I want, thats good too. Thanks

Minimize Maximize
I know you can put code in vb for when someone hits the x to kill the program you can have it so it doesn't unload by using
form_unload(cancel as integer) or something along those lines it doesn't matter but is there code that says when the maximize button is hit then something happens or if the minimize button is hit then something happens?

Maximize-Minimize
Hello,

How can I tell (in code) when a form is being restored from the taskbar
after having been minimized? I don't want my 'form.resize' event to be
executed in this situation.

Minimize && Maximize Forms
Hello,

In my program I have several forms showing at any one time. I have set up a Command Button that the user can use to 'Minimize' the whole page, forms included. I have turn off the Minimize/Maximize buttons on all the forms so as not to confuse. This so as not to this works well and all forms reduce to just 1 (one) block, whatever you call it, on the Status Bar with the program name shown.

However I cannot seem to get all the forms back when you 'Double-Click' or 'Restore' the program, only 1 (one) form/page comes up.

Is there a way to do this or am I just wishfull thinking?

Thank You

Minimize + Maximize + X *RESOLVED*
Ok, I have searched through several threads looking for info on minimizing, maximize and X for forms. I have found several interesting threads, but I can't seem to find what I am looking for.

I have two forms open, one is my main form. If I click the minimize control, I want both form to minimize and and only show as one form in the task bar.

If I open the form up again, I want everything to open up as it was before. Now the part I seem to be missing is how to indicate in my code that the minimize or maximize or X control has been clicked.

I know for example if I don't want my other form in the task bar to use something like this and to open the forms together with this.

VB Code:
frmOtherForm.show, frmMainShowInTaskBar = false

Minimize / Maximize VB Form
Hi everyone,

In my coding for a form (say, form_A.frm), I wish to minimize it (form_A.frm) after user presses a button. Likewise, I want to maximize the form (form_A.frm) later when an event is triggered.

I know there is a Shell command that allows maximize of an application by using 'vbMaximizedFocus' as WindowStyle. But this is meant for applications, and not VB forms, am I right? How do I get a form minimized / maximized?

Thankies in advance!

Disable Maximize And Minimize Buttons
Hi everybody,

I have disabled the entries for minimize and maximize in the system menu of a MDI form. When I open the system menu these two entries are disabled. But the buttons are still active and the user can click on them. The buttons have no function (no minimizing or maximizing of the form), but it looks not very good when there are active buttons with no function. I have used the two API functions GetMenuItemInfo and SetMenuItemInfo to disable the entries of the system menu and when I disable the "Close" menu item, the button is disabled too. So can anybody tell me how to disable the min and max buttons in a MDI form.

Best regards

Michael Hartmann

Any ideas?

Get Active Window Handle / Minimize Window
Hello,

I have two (hopefully) simple questions that I hoped could be answered.

How do you obtain the currently active window's handle? I have tried GetActiveWindow, it doesn't seem to work.

How do you minimize a window through the use of the window handle? I do not want to have to focus on the window I am trying to minimize.

Thankyou

Edit: I just thought of another question I need answered.
Could somone please tell me how to use the API SetCursor, and whether SetCursor persists through a restart?
