Restore all minimized windows?

[TimV]

Is there an API call to restore all minimized windows? I actually only want to restore a particular program I find running, but I haven't found a way to do that either...

Thanks,

Tim

TimV,

if you want to restore particular window or ALL windows, the method stays the same :

a) find the window handle
b) see if it's minimized
c) restore window via that handle

Windows API has 2 convenient functions who will do the trick
a) findwindow
b) isiconic
c) showwindow

here's an example :

procedure restoremywindow;
var hwnd : integer;
begin
 // find window with windowtitle 'MyWindowTitle'
 hwnd:=FindWindow(nil,Pchar('MyWindowTitle'));
 // only restore window when it is not minimized
 if IsIconic(hwnd) then 
  ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_RESTORE);
end

Cheers!!!
