There are a window of another process,it's minimized.



I want to show it ,like use mouse click it's icon at task bar.



I use CancelMinimized function list below.



it can show window,but alway show it as "restore" state. If window state is maximized before minimize,then use CancelMinimized function can't get maximized state.so,how to show window like use mouse click it's icon at task bar?





    public static bool CancelMinimized(int hwnd)
{
Api.WindowPlacement wp = new Api.WindowPlacement();
bool isok = false;
if (Api.GetWindowPlacement(hwnd, ref wp))
{
wp.showCmd = Api.ShowCmdEnum.SHOWNORMAL;//yes,had tried SHOW,RESORE..., had no effect
isok = Api.SetWindowPlacement(hwnd, ref wp);
}
return isok;
}

public class Api {

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "GetWindowPlacement")]
public static extern bool GetWindowPlacement(int hwnd,ref WindowPlacement lpwndpl);

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "SetWindowPlacement")]
public static extern bool SetWindowPlacement(int hwnd, ref WindowPlacement lpwndpl);

public struct WindowPlacement
{
public int length;
public uint flags;
public ShowCmdEnum showCmd;
public Point ptMinPosition;
public Point ptMaxPosition;
public Rect rcNormalPosition;
}

public struct Rect
{
public int left;
public int top;
public int right;
public int bottom;
}

public enum ShowCmdEnum
{
HIDE = 0,
SHOWNORMAL = 1,
NORMAL = 1,
SHOWMINIMIZED = 2,
SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3,
MAXIMIZE = 3,
SHOWNOACTIVATE = 4,
SHOW = 5,
MINIMIZE = 6,
SHOWMINNOACTIVE = 7,
SHOWNA = 8,
RESTORE = 9,
SHOWDEFAULT = 10,
FORCEMINIMIZE = 11,
}


public struct Point
{
public int x;
public int y;
public Point(int px, int py)
{
x = px;
y = py;
}
}


}
