Hi John,

No problem, glad to be of help.

Below I listed the defined constants for the ShowWindow API call, and examples in both FPW and VFP. The function returns a logical value (which you can't define in VFP). Non-zero will equal true.

* nCmdShow values
#define SW_HIDE             0
#define SW_SHOWNORMAL       1
#define SW_NORMAL           1
#define SW_SHOWMINIMIZED    2
#define SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED    3
#define SW_MAXIMIZE         3
#define SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE   4
#define SW_SHOW             5
#define SW_MINIMIZE         6
#define SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE  7
#define SW_SHOWNA           8
#define SW_RESTORE          9
#define SW_SHOWDEFAULT      10
#define SW_MAX              10

* In VFP

DECLARE SHORT ShowWindow IN Win32API;
  INTEGER hwnd, INTEGER nCmdShow
llresult = (ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow) # 0)

* In FPW

m.showwind = RegFN("ShowWindow", "II", "I")
m.result = (CallFN(m.showwind, m.hWnd, m.nCmdShow) # 0)
