It should be an easy job on every window, but Windows Live Messenger's chatwindow is not an "average" window.

Minimizing works fine, but it seems it is immune to the WinRestore command while minimized.

Code:
#IfWinExist ahk_class IMWindowClass

^+B::
WinGet ch_Minimized, MinMax, ahk_class IMWindowClass
if ch_Minimized = -1
{
  PostMessage 0x112, 0xF120,,, ahk_class IMWindowClass  ; 0x112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF120 = SC_RESTORE
  ;WinRestore ahk_class IMWindowClass
}
else
{
  PostMessage 0x112, 0xF020,,, ahk_class IMWindowClass  ; 0x112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF020 = SC_MINIMIZE
  ;WinMinimize ahk_class IMWindowClass
}
Return

#IfWinExist


First thing is what I noticed, that the value of ch_Minimized is always 0, never -1.
Check it with MsgBox %ch_Minimized%

Now how can I restore this window if it is minimized?

WinSet, Top doesn't do anything, but WinActivate do the trick. Thank you!

Now the final remaining problem is to detect the state of the window to allow toggling. Unfortunately WinGet MinMax always returns 0.

But I think it is not important anyway, since checking for IfWinActive is better.

Now here is the solution:
Code:
#IfWinExist ahk_class IMWindowClass

^+B::
IfWinActive ahk_class IMWindowClass
  PostMessage 0x112, 0xF020  ; 0x112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF020 = SC_MINIMIZE
else
  WinActivate ahk_class IMWindowClass
Return

#IfWinExist
