Restore Minimized Window

[Daemante2018]

I must be doing something wrong because I have searched and tried a number of different codes to restore a gui that I minimized. 

What I am trying to do is check if the window exists, and is minimized, then restore it or launch it.

Using this very similar example it works as intended: 

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()

    Local $hWnd = "Untitled - Notepad"
    Local $iState = WinGetState($hWnd)


    If BitAND($iState, $WIN_STATE_MINIMIZED) Then
        WinSetState("Untitled - Notepad","", @SW_RESTORE)
    Else
        Run("notepad.exe")
    EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>Example

Using my code it does not:

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

_lmin()
Func _lmin()
    Local $launch = "Launcher"
    Local $iState = WinGetState($launch)
    If BitAND($iState, $WIN_STATE_MINIMIZED) Then
        WinSetState("Launcher", "", @SW_RESTORE)
    Else
        _Launcher()
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_lmin

The "window" is a gui that I opened and minimized.

I have tried:

GUICTRLGETSTATE / SETSTATE

WINGETSTATE / SETSTATE

WINACTIVATE / EXISTS

I believe we gonna need more code than that. What is function _Launch ?  Show us at least a screen shot of the "Window" ! 

[Daemante2018]

Right, my bad.

Reason I didn't post the code is because the functionality is not allowed here and the function/GUI itself works without issue. Its just getting it to restore if minimized when the button is pressed again.

Edit: Just noticed that the window in question is not being focused if you click anywhere off of it.

what do you mean with "Reason I didn't post the code is because the functionality is not allowed here" ?

and lmin will never be executed because launcher is the one running.  it is working with notepad since it is a seperate process...

@Daemante2018, So we tell you that a game launcher isn't allowed to be discussed here and to read our forum rules.
It appears that  forgot to read those rules as it clearly stated:

7. Do not repost the same question if the previous thread has been locked - particularly if you merely reword the question to get around one of the prohibitions listed above.

Consider this your last warning and reminder to properly read these rules.

@Daemante2018 I am going to up the ante and give you 3 days to think it over before you are able to post again, since we had a pretty lengthy conversation via PM and I expressly told you NOT to try this.
