Hi:
Again, I very much appreciate your prompt replay and thank you 'cause the
information you gave me solves my problem (I haven't tested it yet..., but I
will).

The reason I don't use the nShow variable in the ShellExecuteEx function is
because I assume that users will interact with the spawned applications
(perhaps resizing or minimizing). At a certain time, I want to force the
users to see spawned apps (one or all of them). To do this I'm planning to
issue a "ShowWindow" command to each spawned window. However "ShowWindow"
also takes a "HWND" as a parameter!!!

I found out that there's no need to call the "IsIconic" function if I
specify the SW_RESTORE parameter in the "ShowWindow" function. This way it
doesn't matter if the spawned app is minimized, however if does matter if
the app is maximized (or maximized and focused) 'cause it could confuse the
user...I mean... user could get MORE confused ;)

Thank you again and C.U. Next time...

My best regards...
<R>.
