How to check a browser window is minimized

Extern.Declare micLong, "GetMainWindow", "user32" ,"GetAncestor",micLong, micLong 'This is the declaration for the referencing "GetMainWindow" with the GetAncestor method in user32.dll.
GA_ROOT=2

Just opened Gmail and checked whether the browser is minimized or maximized.

We cannot directly use Browser().GetROProperty("minimized") here.


Set oBrowser=description.Create
oBrowser("micclass").value="Browser"
oBrowser("name").value="Gmail.*"

hwnd=Browser(oBrowser).GetROProperty("hwnd")

hwnd = Extern.GetMainWindow(hwnd , GA_ROOT)
msgbox Window("hwnd:=" & hwnd ).GetROProperty("minimized")

The above code returns False if the Tab/browser is maximized else
returns True if the Tab/browser is minimized

The above code worked well with QTP and IE 7.
