Maximize another application

[cjelec]

VB.net 2003 .net 1.1

Hi,

I know that this may be a stupidly easy one, but:

How do I maximize another applications window?

I am starting an application with the Process class in minimize, and at a given point I need to maximize it.

Is there a way to send a maximize command using the handle?
Is there a global (standard) key combination to maximize a window?

AppActivate(...) doesn't really do anything.

Thanks in advance for any help

Why, why, did I most this in this forum.

Please ignore this thread.

Sorry to all

Yes, shame on you.

But yes, you should be able to maximize it using the handle. (or set it full screen, or whatever). I've done that before... if you can't find your answer, let me know and I'll look at some of my old code.

Someone did try to help me on the (correct) vb.net forum, but it didn't work. I was trying to maximize a game (Directx) window, and none of the api calls would work (focus, maximize, sendkeys, mouse click...). So I have given up for the moment.

Thanks
