Minimize a window in WPF?

Question

How do you minimize a window programmatically when using windows WPF? I can seem to find a .Resize attribute?

Answer 1

Use the window's object WindowState property to programmaticly minimise a window.

window.WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;

Setting window state to WindowState.Normal will restore the window to it's previous WindowsState, size and location.

window.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;

Window.Normal is a bit of a misnomer. The remarks in the WindowState property and the WindowState Enumeration MSDN articles hint at WindowState.Normal actual functionality and testing confirms it.
