For the life of me I cannot get this API function to work as expected
in VB.Net

I am however using SetWindowPos, and so long as the window is not
minimized, it will position as I tell it to. If the window is
minimized SetWindowPos will not move the window, and
SetWindowPlacement does not appear to have any effect on changing the
state of the window from Minimized to any other state, such as normal,
maximized or otherwise.

I've tried code, and combination of code from a number of sources,
including MSDN, pinvoke.net, and vbnet.mvps.org, all with no luck.

Now keep in mind that I'm not concerned about 64 bit systems, so a
data type of Long should be fine. I've tried various versions of this
function, including the <DLLImport...> version, as well as having the
function return a Boolean value rather than a Long. This function
appears to have zero effect. Also note that I do have the proper
constructs in place, i.e. WindowPlacement, PointAPI & Rect.

Interestingly enough I have been able to get the IsIconic function
working, and it *will* return correctly the state of the application
window (minimized or no).

Here's the code for what its worth...although this variation and its
forms are all over the net...any thoughts, advice or ideas would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Public Declare Function SetWindowPlacement Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByRef lpwndpl As WINDOWPLACEMENT) _
As Long

Private Sub (Blah, Blah)

Dim lhWnd As Long = lvWindows.SelectedItems(0).SubItems(1).Text
Dim currWinp As WINDOWPLACEMENT

currWinp.Length = Len(currWinp)
currWinp.flags = 0&
currWinp.showCmd = SW_SHOWNORMAL

SetWindowPos(lhWnd, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE)
SetWindowPlacement(lhWnd, currWinp)

End Sub

       'RestoreWindow(lhWnd)

   End Sub
