WINDOW-MAXIMIZED
|
1
|
The window is maximized to fill the entire display.
|
|
WINDOW-MINIMIZED
|
2
|
The window is minimized (iconified).
|
|
WINDOW-NORMAL
|
3
|
The window is in the “restored” state. Initially, this refers to a state that is neither maximized nor minimized. However, setting WINDOW-STATE to WINDOW-NORMAL restores the window to its previous state, which may be the maximized, minimized, or neither.
|
|
WINDOW-DELAYED-MINIMIZE
|
4
|
The window is minimized (iconified) the next time a new window, dialog box, or alert box is displayed. This differs from setting WINDOW-STATE to WINDOW-MINIMIZED, which minimizes the window immediately.

You can change the state of a window programmatically by setting the WINDOW-STATE attribute. Note that you can change a window to its maximized state in Windows only.
