Hey everyone
i am here to show you guys how to Minimize all the windows with Vb.Net
first to start it off

Put this code under the - Public Class [Project Name]

Code: Select all

      Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" ( _
         ByVal bVk As Byte, _
         ByVal bScan As Byte, _
         ByVal dwFlags As Long, _
         ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)

      Const KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = &H2
      Const VK_LWIN = &H5B

This code i the private declare which is used to minimize all the windows to the tray

now lets say you want to make a button minimize all windows, *adding this code + the private declare all windows will become minimized

Code: Select all

Call keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, 0, 0)
         Call keybd_event(77, 0, 0, 0)
         Call keybd_event(VK_LWIN, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)

Nice, but is it the open OS windows or open program windows that the person just made?

If so then its just easier to do:
Go to Form1_Move

Code: Select all

 If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then
              form2.windowsstate = FormWindowState.Minimized
          Else
             'the maximized code's go here :P

Thats for the windows OS, what code are you looking for?
this :
form2.windowsstate = FormWindowState.Maximized

No no I know that but I was asking which it was for :P
