wsh(Windows Scripting Host), Maximizing a Minimized Application

Maximizing a Minimized Application

Author	Message
KT #1 / 4	Maximizing a Minimized Application How would you use WSH to maximize a minimized application that minimizes to the system tray? I've tried using AppActivate but it only works if an application is hidden, not minimized. TIA Keith

Mark L. Ferguso #2 / 4	Maximizing a Minimized Application Alt-Tab will restore the last minimized(run) app, since it was the last to have the focus before minimizing. AppActivate should work then. -- Mark L.

Günter Bor #4 / 4	Maximizing a Minimized Application Or download WSHExtend.ocx from WSH Bazaar and use the Window methods to change the Window style. G.
