BOOL GetWindowPlacement(hwnd, lpwndpl)
HWND hwnd;	/* handle of window, */
WINDOWPLACEMENT FAR* lpwndpl;	/* address of structure for position data	*/

The GetWindowPlacement function retrieves the show state and the normal (restored), minimized, and maximized positions of a window.

lpwndpl

typedef struct tagWINDOWPLACEMENT {     /* wndpl */
    UINT  length;
    UINT  flags;
    UINT  showCmd;
    POINT ptMinPosition;
    POINT ptMaxPosition;
    RECT  rcNormalPosition;
} WINDOWPLACEMENT;

For a full description of this structure, see the Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference, Volume 3.
