Hi,

I am trying to use ShowWindow function with SW_HIDE, SW_SHOW in order to
hide/show applications from its handle. my problem comes after hiding the
application as I can't restore it again.

I use the following code to hide the application:

HWND AppHandle= SearchProgramHandle("notepad.exe");
//(SearchProgramHandle) is a function that take a snapshot of the current
windows process and search for the application handle based on its exe name

if(AppHandle != 0)
{ ShowWindow(AppHandle, SW_HIDE);
}

When I try to use this code to show the application again...the application
never show up again !

ShowWindow(AppHandle, SW_SHOW);

can someone help me please and tell me what I am doing wrong here...or what
I am missing exactly....

Thanks
