Return Value

Success: 1.

Remarks

When windows are created they are initially hidden so you must use this function to display them (@SW_SHOW).

Only one window can be locked with @SW_LOCK. Any other @SW_LOCK will lock the requested window.
@SW_UNLOCK just ignored the "winhandle" to unlock any locked window.
