Is there an event raised in C# when a window is restored?

Question

Is there any event that is raised when a window is restored in C#/.NET?

I noticed that there is an event that is raised when a window is activated, but I can't find a corresponding event for a window being restored, such as from a maximized or minimized state.

Answer 1

I know this question is quite old but it works this way:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.SizeChanged += new EventHandler(Form1_WindowStateTrigger);
}

private void Form1_WindowStateTrigger(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("FORM1 MINIMIZED!");
    }

    if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("FORM1 RESTORED!");
    }

    if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("FORM1 MAXIMIZED!");
    }
}

Using the SizeChanged event, coupled with a check of WindowState does the trick here.

You can check it this way:

private void Form1_Resize(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
   {
       ...
   }
   else if ....
   {
   }
}
