Examples

This creates a general text file and displays its WindowState property.

Imports EnvDTE  
Imports EnvDTE80  
Sub WindowStateExample(ByVal dte As DTE2)  
    Dim win As Window2  
    win = CType(_applicationObject.ItemOperations.NewFile _  
    ("General\Text File"), Window2)  
    MsgBox("Windowstate of " & win.Caption & " is "  _  
    & (win.WindowState.ToString))  
End Sub  

using EnvDTE;  
using EnvDTE80;  
using System.Windows.Forms;  
public void WindowStateExample(DTE2 dte)  
{  
    Window2 win;  
    win = (Window2)_applicationObject.ItemOperations.NewFile  
(@"General\Text File", "MyTextFile", Constants.vsViewKindTextView);  
    MessageBox.Show("Windowstate of " + win.Caption + " is "   
+ win.WindowState.ToString());  
}  

Remarks

Because the WindowState property sets or returns whether a window is maximized, minimized, or normal, the environment should be in MDI mode for the following to work correctly.
