HELP URGENTLY NEEDED SOS!

I�ve got a client who wants me to finish off someone else�s work. I know it�
s the shittiest job in the world but I need the cash.

That have an app that uses Buddy API to set a screen resolution for the app.
So, whenever the app is run, regardless of the current screen settings it is
set to 800x600. Upon exiting it is returned to whatever it was beforehand.

The client now wants the ability to minimise the app whilst running with a
user clickable minimise button, not unlike the standard windows minimise
button. Then switch to the original setting so that they can play around
with excel. Finally, when the app is re-activated by the user clicking on
the task bar icon then back to 800x600.

Can this be done?

Thanks ever so much in advance
