Minimize windows from other programs

[noodles1]

I am trying to create a program that has the ability to control other windows (e.g. minimize) created by separate programs that are part of the overall application. What this means is that the controlling program needs to send a message to another program instructing it to, say, minimize. The ShowWindow(..) function is normally used to minimize a window via its Handle.

Can I use the ShowWindow() function from the controlling program or can this only minimize windows with handles created by the same thread that calls ShowWindow()?

Yes, if you want you can EnumWindows and minimize all windows what exist in the Operation System.
