    You don't need to try "with all the SW_ parameters", only SW_MAXIMIZE onle should be used.

    How exactly and where from do you call ShowWindow? What exactly happens?

    I meant I tried all SW_ parameters that had something to do with maximizing the window.The code is simple,I minimize the app to the to the taskbar,and my code is just: ShowWindow,that's it.Still,doesn't work.

    Are you sure you use correct terms in regard to what you do and what you want?

    Re: Cannot maximize window

    In a case like yours I always implement a sample app that basically tests what I doubt about.

    You may yourself make sure that ShowWindow works as expected with regular overlapped window (frame window).

    You should build the sample, run 689.exe and then control its visibility with controller.exe:

    controller 0 - minimize
    controller 1 - maximize
    controller 2 - restore
