#Api vba showwindow windows 10
I am using Windows 10 64 with Excel 2010. Is that the problem, you need to show the excel app if it is minimized?Īlso, none of those functions you showed in your last post are obsolete according to the msdn documents, not sure where you got that from. It would not work one time and not the next time if there is not something different.ĮDIT: The IsIconic function is only to test if a window is minimized or not. It may be something in the Remarks which Tom pointed out
I have a feeling that there may be something that we are not aware of and there has to be something that is different between the times that it works and the times that it does not work.

Also supply your full code or a small example code that produces the same problem so others can try reproducingĪs i already mentioned, i could not reproduce the same problem and did not even have to use the SetForegroundWindow Api to set the excel app as the foreground window, the line below sets it as the foreground when it is called on my end.

Perhaps you should explain what windows version you are using, Win7, 8, 10, 32 or 64 bit and what version of MS Office you are using. I don't know what will bring the window to the top I was just giving you the correct api declare for the function you said you get an error at ProcessId - that is because you have the old api declare you need the new vb.net declare uses integer and bool.
Well, what do you mean it does not work? Do you mean you get an error or do you mean you used the function but still does not bring the window to the top. The one below seemed promising, but uses obsolete functions and I have not tried it. I've read plenty about the SetForegroundWindow and I get the impression that nobody has a good answer. Neither the AllowSetForegroundWindow nor the SetForegroundWindow get a True output. Thank you Tommy, but it does not work either. If you say it can`t be done then i`ll try it 'SetForegroundWindow(New IntPtr(wb.Application.Hwnd)) 'wb.Application.Hwnd returns an Integer which needs to be converted to an IntPtr for SetForegrondWindow Api function Wb = CType(GetObject("C:\testfolder\MyWorkBook.xls"), .Workbook) 'GetObject returns an Object and should be cast to a WorkBook type Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Clickĭim wb As .Workbook = Nothing Have you tried comparing the Application.Hwnd to the window`s known handle gotten from an app like Spy++ to see if the two handles are the same when it fails?ĭeclare Auto Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "USER32.DLL" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr) As Boolean
Not so sure that these two things will fix the problem but, they should be done anyways. The Application.Hwnd returns an Integer type and needs to be converted to an IntPtr type for the hWnd parameter of the SetForegroundWindow function. One is the GetObject function returns an Object type and needed to be cast to a WorkBook type. I did change two things in my example though, i use Option Strict On all the time and it showed 2 type conversion errors. Maybe because i am using an older version of Excel, Using the code below seems to bring the Excel app to the foreground without even calling the SetForegroundWindow function at all. I changed hWnd to nCmdShow as this is what i read in a different thread as might help, still not working.I can not seem to reproduce the problem on my end.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Private Shared Function ShowWindow(ByVal hWnd As Integer, ByVal nCmdShow As Integer) As Integer Here is my code: Imports ĭim p As Process() = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad")

Reading many steps on how to do this, trying to change it to different numbers, I.E: SW_RESTORE = 1 or SW_RESTORE = 9 Both never seem to reopen the external program.
