[Closed] Check if certain dialog is minimized or not

i just want to get if a certain window is minimized or not with a true false result

(

local _USER32 =
(
src=“using System;”
src += “using System.Runtime.InteropServices;”
src += “class _user32”
src += “{”
src += ” [DllImport(“User32.DLL”, EntryPoint=“GetWindowLong”)]”
src += ” public static extern Int32 GetWindowLong(Int32 hWnd, Int32 index);”
src += “}”

  csharpProvider = dotnetobject "Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider"
  compilerParams = dotnetobject "System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters"
  
  compilerParams.GenerateInMemory = true
  compilerResults = csharpProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource compilerParams #(src)
  _user32Assembly = compilerResults.CompiledAssembly
  
  _user32Assembly.CreateInstance "_user32"

)

fn getStyle hwnd = (_USER32.GetWindowLong hwnd -16)

(bit.and (getstyle (certain hwnd)) 0x20000000L) != 0
)

i got this to work but is there any simpler method ?

this code originally written by @denisT on this link https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-programming/script-to-minimize-maximise-all-open-dialog-windows/td-p/10234027

tried to simplify it a little but curious if is there any other way

IsIconic
in newer max versions you can use python libs directly from maxscript. Check Executing Python from MAXScript in the mxs reference

( python.import "ctypes" ).windll.user32.IsIconic hwnd

thanks a million works great and fast
