Comments

An application that maintains its own minimized child windows can call ArrangeIconicWindows to arrange icons in a client window. This function also arranges icons on the desktop window, which covers the entire screen. The GetDesktopWindow function retrieves the window handle of the desktop window.

An application sends the WM_MDIICONARRANGE message to the MDI client window to prompt the client window to arrange its minimized MDI child windows.
