No joy. I got the same results. This seems to be by design for
Windows because all of the API's I've tested return the same
results.

Even more perplexing to me is that minimizing the window seems
to be handled differently when compared to maximizing or
restoring. If I use SetWindowsHookEx to hook into the main
thread, I can detect SC_RESTORE and SC_MAXIMIZE but not
SC_MINIMIZE ?????

In case you're wondering, I need to be able to determine the
the correct window state from within a component and since
Application->MainForm->WindowState is updated directly from
what window's 'thinks' it is, my only choice was to hook the
main window and monitor changes.
