ShowWindow(hWnd, Mode) without function

[HHJB]

This function is not functional on WinCE and I dont know if it ever worked. Tested with all of my environments (0.9.28.2..0.9.31).

Any ideas?

Which function exactly? From the Windows unit? Or from LCLIntf unit?

And why do you need it anyway? You should use TForm.Show

[HHJB]

From the Windows unit.

I need it, because I want to re-show an existing window if you start another instance.
TForm.Show must be done from inside the existing instance but I want it to be done by the new instance before its termination.

Try sending a custom message, like WM_MYMESSAGE with a number > WM_USER and catch it in the other application via for example WndProc in the mainform of the other app. The Virtual Magnifying Glass has this feature, although I don't remember how I did it. It has this feature for Windows desktop, but it should work similarly to Windows CE:

94         AHandle := FindWindow(nil, szAppTitle);
95         SendMessage(AHandle, MYWM_SHOWGLASS, 0, 0);

Check what it does to handle MYWM_SHOWGLASS
