Detecting whether form was minimized before OnResize()

In the OnResize() event is it possible to detect whether the form is really
being resized as opposed to just restoring itself to its previous size?

Presumably I could keep track of the size of the clientRectangle but it
seems as though there must be an easier way.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Valerie,

/// <summary>Stores the last known <see cref="FormWindowState" />
/// during a <see cref="Resize" /> event.</summary>
private FormWindowState lastResizedState;

protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnResize(e);

if (lastResizedState == this.WindowState)
// form is resizing, but not switching state
{
// do stuff during resize
}
else
// keep track of the state change
lastResizedState = this.WindowState;
}
