Remarks

You must lock Imagenation before you hide it. Otherwise Imagenation shuts down. For details, see LockImagenation. When the Imagenation window is hidden (0), the application does not show up in the Windows task list or in the list of applications through which you can toggle with the ALT+TAB key combination.

Restore and de-iconize produce two different results. If you maximize the Imagenation window, minimize it, and then restore the window twice, it will first return to a maximized state and then to the state it was in before you maximized it. If you choose de-iconize instead, it will return to the maximized state and remain there if you choose de-iconize again.

Release information

Added in Release 3.50.
