I've just started programming for Windows and want to know how to make a window maximized when it starts. I looked at the styles listed on MDSN and thought I'd add WS_MAXIMIZE to the style property when I use CreateWindow.

  hwnd = CreateWindow ("Window Class 1",
                       "Test Window!",
                       WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_MAXIMIZE,
                       CW_USEDEFAULT,
                       CW_USEDEFAULT,
                       CW_USEDEFAULT,
                       CW_USEDEFAULT,
                       NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

Its very annoying that this has no effect; the window just opens normally as when I was just using WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW. Am I doing something wrong, or is there another way to make a window be maximized initially? Any help would be much appreciated.

Immediately after calling [tt]CreateWindow[/tt], call [tt]ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)[/tt].
