I am new to this concept of windows programming please help....

I have taken a code from @Max keilland...

TCHAR WndCaption[100];
TCHAR NewCaption[] = TEXT("My Window handle is valid");
BOOL res;

GetWindowText(MyHWND,WndCaption,100);
SetWindowText(MyHWND,NewCaption);

// This works correctly.
res = IsWindowVisible(MyHWND);
if(!res) 
 // This always fail
 OpenIcon(MyHWND);

where should i pass my name of application to check if that is in minimized state or not.....

You can use the IsIconic function.

The documentation states:

BOOL IsIconic(
 HWND hWnd
);

Determines whether the specified window is minimized (iconic).

Return Value
Type: Type: BOOL

If the window is iconic, the return value is nonzero.

If the window is not iconic, the return value is zero.
