Maximize

Hello,

I have an application that starts notepad.exe from a button click in VB.NET.
I am looking for a way to make the window maximize or minimize from the vb
app.

Any suggestions (if at all possible, detailed) will be greatly appeciated,

Thanks,

Chuck

Yo must use the ProcessStartInfo

System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo myProc = new
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
myProc.FileName = "Notepad.exe";
myProc.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(myProc);

For example:

\\\
Call Shell("notepad", AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)
///

- or -

\\\
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo
With psi
.FileName = "notepad"
.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized
End With
Process.Start(psi)
///

Hello,

Thanks for the info, what about maximizing an app like notepad.exe if it is
already running?

Thanks
Chuck

If you have the according 'Process' object, you can use p/invoke on
'ShowWindow' + the desired window state
(<URL:http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32.ShowWindow>). The handle can
be taken from the 'Process' object's 'MainWindowHandle' property.
