Try using FindWindow() and then ShowWindow().

Enrico,

Where can further information be found regarding the use of these 2 functions? It is not in the 1.1 xHarbour manual nor the FiveWin Help files for 7.04.

This is a sample:

Code: Select all

#include "Fivewin.ch"


#define SW_MAXIMIZE 3


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL hWnd := FINDWINDOW( 0, "Main window title" )

    IF !EMPTY( hWnd )
        SHOWWINDOW( hWnd, SW_MAXIMIZE )
    ELSE
        ? "Window not found"
    ENDIF

    RETURN NIL

Both functions are documented inside fwfun.chm.

Ken,

Besides Enrico's example, please review FWH\samples\ShowApp.prg also

Thanks Enrico and Antonio,

Another stupid leson learned. I was doing a search for FIND expecting all possibilities to be listed. Instead, I got 5 completely different titles.

That will teach me that shortcuts do not always work.
