--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Syntax:              ShowWindow( <hWnd>, <nMode> )  --> <lSuccess>


   Parameters:

   <hWnd>               Identifies the window.

   <nMode>              Specifies how the window is to be shown. This
                        parameter can be one of the following values:

                        Value    Meaning

                        SW_HIDE  Hides the window and passes activation to
                                 another window.

                        SW_MINIMIZE Minimizes the specified window and
                                 activates the top-level window in the
                                 system's list.

                        SW_RESTORE Activates and displays a window. If the
                                 window is minimized or maximized, Windows
                                 restores it to its original size and
                                 position (same as SW_SHOWNORMAL).

                        SW_SHOW  Activates a window and displays it in its
                                 current size and position.

                        SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED  Activates a window and displays it
                                 as a maximized window.

                        SW_SHOWMINIMIZED  Activates a window and displays it
                                 as an icon.

                        SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE Displays a window as an icon. The
                                 window that is currently active remains
                                 active.

                        SW_SHOWNA Displays a window in its current state. The
                                 window that is currently active remains
                                 active.

                        SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE  Displays a window in its most
                                 recent size and position. The window that is
                                 currently active remains active.

                        SW_SHOWNORMAL Activates and displays a window. If the
                                 window is minimized or maximized, Windows
                                 restores it to its original size and
                                 position (same as SW_RESTORE).

                        #define SW_HIDE             0
                        #define SW_SHOWNORMAL       1
                        #define SW_NORMAL           1
                        #define SW_SHOWMINIMIZED    2
                        #define SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED    3
                        #define SW_MAXIMIZE         3
                        #define SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE   4
                        #define SW_SHOW             5
                        #define SW_MINIMIZE         6
                        #define SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE  7
                        #define SW_SHOWNA           8
                        #define SW_RESTORE          9

   Returns:

   <lSuccess>           A logical value indicating if the operation
                        was performed successfully.
