; options for the nShowCmd parameter (most people use 4 or 5)
SW_HIDE: 0 ; Hides the window and activates another window.
SW_SHOWNORMAL: 1 ; Activates and displays a window. If the window is
;minimized or maximized, Windows restores it to its original size and
;position. An application should specify this flag when displaying the window
;for the first time.
SW_SHOWMINIMIZED: 2 ; Activates the window and displays it as a minimized
window.
SW_MAXIMIZE: 3 ; Maximizes the specified window.
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED: 3 ; Activates the window and displays it as a maximized
window.
SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE: 4 ; Displays a window in its most recent size and
;position. The active window remains active.
SW_SHOW: 5 ; Activates the window and displays it in its current size and
position.
SW_MINIMIZE: 6 ; Minimizes the specified window and activates the next
;top-level window in the z-order.
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE: 7 ; Displays the window as a minimized window.
;The active window remains active.
SW_SHOWNA: 8 ; Displays the window in its current state. The active window
remains active.
SW_RESTORE: 9 ; Activates and displays the window. If the window is
;minimized or maximized, Windows restores it to its original size and
;position. An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized
;window.
SW_SHOWDEFAULT: 10 ; Sets the show state based on the SW_ flag specified in
;the STARTUPINFO structure passed to the CreateProcess function by the
;program that started the application. An application should call ShowWindow
;with this flag to set the initial show state of its main window.
