Minimizing a form ? : Automation API

[vonBrabant]

Hi everybody,

what is the best way to minimize a form (top level window) ?
FormActivate() restores a minimized form, but there seems to be no FormMinimize() !?

Thanx

You are right, there are no explicit functions to maximize/minimize a form. You can, however, send keystrokes that do the same using the ControlSendKeys method. Use the following string for the keys parameter ('%' means holding the Alt-key):
"%{SPACE}x" to Maximize
"%{SPACE}n" to Minimize
"%{SPACE}r" to Restore a form.

Okay, thanks.
I also found a way using element functions, but this is much easier.
