MinimizeWindow:Void window:Int32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
window	In	Int32	required	Handle of a window.

Description

Hides a window as if it were put into the task bar. Its gadgets keep their state. RestoreWindow shows it again and WindowMinimized tells if it is hidden.

Differences

• The operating system minimizes the window and brings it back from its task bar; without a window manager nothing happens. Where the windows are drawn inside the window of Graphics, a minimized window is a bar at the bottom of that window, which the user clicks to restore it.

Examples

Graphics 320, 240, 32, 2
win = CreateWindow("Hide and seek", 40, 40, 200, 100, Desktop(), 15)
MinimizeWindow win
If WindowMinimized(win) Then RestoreWindow win
Repeat
Until WaitEvent() = $803
