Hi Emerson,

I don't know why SW_RESTORE = 9 didn't work for you, but I'm glad you found another code that did the trick. The value 5 is defined as SW_SHOW. Here is the complete list I dug up from Winuser.h, which is one of the header files included in VC++:

#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_FORCEMINIMIZE    11
#define SW_MAX              11

Even if you don't use VC++, you may find it worth your while to install this component of Visual Studio, just to get these header files. It's not always so easy to find this level of information on MSDN.
