3270 Applet Does Not Return to a Normal State (171375)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0
- Microsoft SNA Server 3.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q171375 SYMPTOMS
When you close the 3270 Applet (Win3270.exe) while the application is in a
minimized or maximized state, you can no longer restore the window to
normal.
CAUSE
When creating the windows with a SetWindowPlacement(), the applet uses the
correct, restored window positions, but uses the saved window state. This
causes the restored window position to be lost, and on subsequent restores,
the applet is left in a maximized or minimized position.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server and Clients
version 3.0 and Server Pack 1. This problem was corrected in the latest SNA
Server version 3.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining this
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

MORE INFORMATION
With the fix applied, the window is created in a normal state, and then a
WM_SYSCOMMAND() message is posted with either SC_MAXIMIZE() or
SC_MINIMIZE() if necessary. Using this method, the normal positions are not
lost. This has a visible effect in that when the applet is started, the
window appears briefly in the restored position before going to the
maximized or minimized state.
