WinSetState($handle, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) Problem

[oller]

Hi there, sorry for bugging you with my lack of knowledge.

I try to maximize a programm (Rhapsody)

I did not get farter than this:

$status = WinGetState("Rhapsody")

WinSetState($handle, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

What happens when I run the script is:

- Rhapsody "hangs" does not longer respond to input

- Task Manager shows two instances of Rhapsody.exe. I don't understand why.

I tried to figure out what is going on using this script:

$status = WinGetState("Rhapsody")

MsgBox ( 4096, "title", $status )

That returns:

39 for maximized

7 for what you call it (between maximized and minimized)

5 for minimized

Those codes are not in the manual. What do they mean?

Where is my mistake?

39 = 32 + 4 + 2 + 1 see helpfile for what they mean....

39 = 32 + 4 + 2 + 1 see helpfile for what they mean....

Thanks. So this is like it should be.

But why is Rhapsody behaving so funny? The same script on other windows works fine.

Dunno... don't have Rhapsody ... What is the value of $Handle ?

$handle = WinGetHandle("Rhapsody", "")

MsgBox ( 4096, "title", $handle )

00240236 (maximized and normal)

00160252 (minimized)

Is that normal to get differnt handles?

Maybe it has second hidden window....

You also said that the WinGetState() returns a 5 for Minimized which means 4+1 and the 2="Window Is visible" is missing. This would indicate a hidden window.

Right!

and after:

WinSetState($handle, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

there are two rhapsody.exe in the taskmanager!. I think the second one becomes visible with WinSetState. Well thanks. I keep trying.
