hey guys,

I have a program that opens up a window.
I then want to create a function that will tell that window/program that when a button is pressed to minimize that window and load/open/maximise a window from a different .cpp file or program.

What code would i need in irrlicht?
i pretty much have the function ready to go, i just need to know what code is needed to minimise and maximise and if possible open up a .cpp file or program

thanks in advance

I don't believe irrlicht has any functions for manipulating windows like that

I assume you're running this on a windows platform, so you could see what you could do with MFC

Also, do note that the resolution of your game app will not change according to the size of your window, so you won't get a good quality when maximizing the screen

Call maximizeWindow minimizeWindow or restoreWindow on the device.
