Hey, i've tryed myself using:

Code:

var
h: hWnd;
begin
h:= FindWindowA(nil,'Window Caption'); //doesn't matter wich
if h<>0 then
SendMessageA(h,SC_MINIMIZE,0,0);

To a certain game, but it wont minimize, i've tryed (to be sure) to see if it returns value to make it ShowMessage('Hi'); and it did, but when i try Send/PostMessageA on it, it wont work, any idea ?

thanks.

Though you say "doesn't matter wich", it does matter. Is it hooked? _________________ armed with this small butterfly net i will face the world alone & never be lonely.

Code:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
VAR LOLHANDLE : THANDLE;
begin
LOLHANDLE := FINDWINDOW(NIL,'Untitled - Notepad');
if LOLHANDLE <> 0 then
BEGIN
POSTMESSAGE(LOLHANDLE, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MINIMIZE, 0);
SHOWMESSAGE('LOL MINIMIZED.');
END;
end;

LOLCAPS.

Wouldn't work, incorrect parameters for PostMessage!

Code:

POSTMESSAGE(APPHANDLE, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MINIMIZE, 0);
