Hi,
Sorry for my late reply - I was on travel.
Okay, my question is some kind of fuzzy.
My program's main window doesn't have the title bar appearing so I cannot click on the "minimize" button to get the Window's desktop. Nevertheless, I'd like to minimize the window like I would use the keys "Windows+Down".
Either I could create a button "Minimize" or, since my program is remotely controlled, I would use a received command to minimize the window. But what would the command look like?
Forget about the "maximize" question - this one is completely s****d

Thanks Richard,
I'll give it a try this evening.
I see, I have to get used to use those APIs....

Thanks Richard,
As always, you provide the needed help ;)
So this is the code I added to my code.
Code:[MINIMIZE_WINDOW]
hMain = hwnd(#Main)
CallDLL #user32, "ShowWindow",_
hMain as uLong,_ 'handle of window
_SW_MINIMIZE As Long,_ 'message to minimize window
r As Long
WAIT
