Restore WindowState from Minimized
The easiest way to restore a form to normal state is:
if (MyForm.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
MyForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
}
You could simulate clicking on the taskbar button like this:
SendMessage(docView.Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_RESTORE, 0);
I use the following extension method:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace System.Windows.Forms
{
public static class Extensions
{
[DllImport( "user32.dll" )]
private static extern int ShowWindow( IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg );
private const uint SW_RESTORE = 0x09;
public static void Restore( this Form form )
{
if (form.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
ShowWindow(form.Handle, SW_RESTORE);
}
}
}
}
Then call form.Restore()
in my code.
