<div>What about SW_RESTORE ?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Peter Below's bigger solution to this in his posting suggests this can give all sorts of control overn such a prog.</div>

<div>"The other option is to use CreateProcess to start the program. That gives <br>you (among other goodies) the threadID of the programs main thread. Which <br>you can then use with EnumThreadWindows to find the window(s) of that
<br>thread. Go to <a href="http://www.deja.com/">http://www.deja.com</a>, <a href="http://www.mers.com/searchsite.html">http://www.mers.com/searchsite.html</a>, <br><a href="http://www.tamracka.com/">http://www.tamracka.com

<br>However, if the application is ALREADY running, then the document<br>is opened within the existing application. Hmm. Not so good but no<br>real problem. Now the real problem. If the application is covered by another<br>
window, this it is not brought to top and its not obvious that the document<br>has been opened all. It looks like my application is not doing its job.<br><br>I am calling shellexecute with shownormal. Any way to force the application
<br>to the top short of scanning the process list or findwindow and calling<br>setwindowpos on that instance?<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------<br>Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences
