I have a multimonitor setup for stock trading. On one of my monitors I like to view my charts (one window) and my order entry software (separate window).
When my order entry window is minimized, my charts can be maximized to take up the whole monitor. When I Restore my order entry window, I want the charts window to automatically resize to accommodate the second window.
I don't have much experience coding, but enough to know that what I have so far is not an elegant solution. I probably need to be looking at shell hooks or something.
My immediate question is, why does the first half of the If-else statement never get executed even though I can see from the MsgBox that the condition is true? Also, note that I am using a clumsy workaround because winrestore didn't seem to work on this window.
