Title: minimize/maximize MIDI-OX via scripting
Post by rkelso on Jan 16^th, 2006, 4:10pm

Hello,

Is it possible to minimize and later maximize the MIDI-OX window via a scripting command?

Thanks!
RKelso

Not directly, but maybe you could obtain a handle to the MIDI-OX instance Window and send it standard Windows messages: WM_MAXIMIZE or WM_MINIMIZE. There may be other possibilities in the Shell object for WSH as well.
