Today, I will talk to you about how to use code to minimize or restore programs in Windows. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

You can do it in one of three ways.

Method 1: send a Windows message to the Handle property of the main window or Application- > Handle. The message is WM_SYSCOMMAND, setting wParam to SC_MINIMIZE or SC_RESTORE. You can call the SendMessage API function to send messages.

/ / set WPARAM to SC_MINIMIZE to minimize the window

SendMessage (Application- > Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MINIMIZE, 0)

/ / set WPARAM to SC_RESTROE to restore the window

SendMessage (Application- > Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_RESTORE, 0)

Method 2: call the ShowWindow API function. You must pass a handle to the Application object to the ShowWindow function. If the handle you pass to the ShowWindow function is the main window, the main window will be minimized to the desktop instead of the taskbar.

/ / minimize: transfer SW_MINIMIZE to ShowWindow

ShowWindow (Application- > Handle, SW_MINIMIZE)

/ / restore: transfer SW_RESTORE to ShowWindow

ShowWindow (Application- > Handle, SW_RESTORE)

Method 3: call the Minimize or Restore function of the Application object.

/ / call Minimize minimization application

Application- > Minimize ()

/ / call the Restore recovery application

Application- > Restore ()

The method of calling Application is easier to use, but it is more powerful to send WM_SYSCOMMAND messages. In addition, WM_SYSCOMMAND messages allow you to maximize the program, change the cursor to the help cursor, scroll the program, move a window, resize the window, or even simulate Alt-TAB to switch to another window. Keep in mind that it is better to use the API function to implement these functions.

Although calling ShowWindow works, you probably don't want to use it to minimize or restore programs. ShowWindow causes minimized animation when hidden windows are minimized. This looks a little silly because the animation is away from the center of the program's main window.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of how to use code to minimize or restore programs in Windows? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
