Window State

[nwecksler]

Is there a way of making all windows Maximized so there is now flicker when cycling through document windows?

I've tried to set all active docs windows but they dont stay Maximized

    Private Sub MaxWindows()
        Dim objDocs As DocumentCollection = AC_App.DocumentManager

        For Each objDoc As Document In objDocs
            If Not objDoc.Window.WindowState = Window.State.Maximized Then
                ActiveDoc = objDoc
                ActiveDoc.Window.WindowState = Window.State.Maximized
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

Tony this is over my head but I have tried the following and still get the flicker

documents are already opened

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

    <DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto)> _
    Private Shared Function SendMessage(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal Msg As UInteger, ByVal wParam As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As IntPtr) As IntPtr
    End Function

... 

SendMessage(objDoc.Window.Handle, WM_MDINEXT, ActiveDoc.Window.Handle, 0)

        ActiveDoc = objDoc
