asked on word (office 2010) coming up minimised when called from another program on windows 7 but not on xp
Hi
I have a curious problem, Word 2010 when called from a vb6 program using create object is being displayed minimised, even though explicitly in the program it set to maximised.
When the Word 2003 is called from the VB6 program on Windows XP using create object Word correctly comes up maximised.
Whats the problem on Windows 7!

Its sits on the task bar flashing.
The code we use is
Set mvarApp = CreateObject("Word.Applica
mvarApp.WindowState = 2
Tried WindowState =2, AND windowState = 1 both seem to be minimised.
However a collegue of mind thinks that the word documents are behind the program running.
Is there a way to get word to always display on top of the program running.

Thanks for the answer. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Also found a way of doing it without altering the code namely A registy hack i.e
In the HKEY_Current_User hive, then the Control Panel section followed by the Desktop sub section
Then edit the value of the key ForegroundLockTimeout from 30d40 to 0.

How do you recognize the Word is minimized? Isn't it just placed behind other windows? What happens when you set WindowState = 2 and then WindowState = 1 ?
Could you post some piece of code?
