Is there a way to get the coordinates for a minimized window without using winRestore to restore it?

When the window is minimized, the coordinates are reported as -32000, -32000 with WinGetPos, since that is where winXP actually puts minimized windows. I would like to get the coordinates that the window would have, if it was not minimized.

Additionally, is there a way to tell if a minimized window is also maximized? (i.e. if I unminimized it it with WinRestore, would it be maximized?)
I know about WinGet, but that does only report either maximized or minimized, not both.

If possible I would like to do the above without any visual change.

What you are looking for is GetWindowPlacement API. I searched the forum and found a relevant post:

It's really quite convenient that this thread popped up because I have similar question about minimized GUI's. When I minimize a secondary GUI (by means of the minimize button), it shrinks to about the size of 1/2 the title bar in width and only the title bar's height. Is there a way to place this window when it's minimized though without doing automating a click of the title bar and using MouseDrag?
