Greetings everyone,

I'd like to know if anyone else has ever tried finding out the status of the
VDS IDE through your vds program? I've tried, and when vds is mimized,
it does not report as being minimized using the code below:

Hummm. That's odd. But try this:

Shows to be normal in VDS3 when minimized too (using the title bar).
Maximized does report accurately though.

Try #TScriptWin or #TApplication

That must be the problem then. The VDS IDE is not minimizing as
other programs do, it must be hiding itself instead. Oh well. What I
was trying to do, is when the VDS IDE is minimized, I was going to
have the Snip-Bar also minimize, and then when the IDE was
restored, have Snip-Bar restore.

Hi Bill, I already tried #TScriptWin, same issue. I'll try the other one
you noted.

#TApplication is the first window that is created when you run VDS. Try checking to see if it's minimized or whatever. Just a thought. Smile

Well I feel like a complete newbie now!!!! Embarassed

#TApplication was the
proper class to use and not #TMainWin.

Bill, thanks for mentioning that class name there. I'm not sure how I
missed using that class name.

Yes, but Garrett, it seems that #TApplication doesn't minimize with VDS.
Your snippet falsely reported that VDS was in view.

It's working for me now here. Snip-Bar minimizes if the VDS IDE is
minizmized... But! I have not tried this with the VDS 3.x IDE yet. So
before I jump for joy, let me run it side by side with the VDS 3.x IDE.

So you are minimizing the VDS IDE with the minimize button or with the
code?

On Windows XP Professional I get a false report. Well, when Snip-Bar is
updated with this feature I'll tell you the results. Wink

FreezingFire, here's the actual code I'm using here:
