|

$SW_MINIMIZE |
minimizes the specified window and activates the next top-level window in the ZORDER. |

|

activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized window. |
|

maximizes the window while not overlaying the taskbar area. |
If the value returned is zero, the ZERO Condition Flag is set.

For improved performance in the Application Server environment, do not specify the optional return value unless needed.
This method is not available when using the PL/B Web Server.
