Is there any way to minimize a Full-screen Exclusive Mode application with another program? I was thinking, perhaps with a windows event handler? I'm making a program that will minimize games, so that I will have full control of the screen.
 
You would first have to obtain a handle to its window (by FIndWindow, or EnumWindows or something similair) and then you could use the ShowWindow API with SW_MINIMIZE as the second argument.
Greetings,
Rick
