Members
length
Specifies the
length, in bytes, of the structure. Before calling the GetWindowPlacement or SetWindowPlacement functions, set this member
to sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT).
GetWindowPlacement and SetWindowPlacement fail if this member is not set
correctly.
flags
Specifies
flags that control the position of the minimized window and the method by which
the window is restored. This member can be one or both of the following values:
|
Value |
Meaning |
|
WPF_RESTORETOMAXIMIZED |
|
|
|
Specifies
that the restored window will be maximized, regardless of whether it was
maximized before it was minimized. This setting is only valid the next time
the window is restored. It does not change the default restoration behavior.
This flag is only valid when the SW_SHOWMINIMIZED value is specified for the showCmd
member. |
|
WPF_SETMINPOSITION |
|
|
|
Specifies
that the coordinates of the minimized window may be specified. This flag must
be specified if the coordinates are set in the ptMinPosition member. |
showCmd
Specifies the
current show state of the window. This member can be one of the following
values:
|
Value |
Meaning |
|
SW_HIDE |
Hides the
window and activates another window. |
|
SW_MINIMIZE |
Minimizes
the specified window and activates the top-level window in the system s list. |
