SetWindowPlacement

The SetWindowPlacement function sets the show state and the restored, minimized, and maximized positions of the specified window.

BOOL SetWindowPlacement(

HWND hWnd, // handle of window
CONST WINDOWPLACEMENT *lpwndpl // address of structure with position data
);  

Parameters

hWnd

Identifies the window.

lpwndpl

Points to a WINDOWPLACEMENT structure that specifies the new show state and window positions.

Before calling SetWindowPlacement, set the length member of the WINDOWPLACEMENT structure to sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT).

SetWindowPlacement fails if lpwndpl->length is not set correctly.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The length member of WINDOWPLACEMENT must be set to sizeof(WINDOWPLACEMENT). If this member is not set correctly, the function returns FALSE.
