Can anyone tell me why this always returns False? I've got one instance
of notepad running. It's minimized and showing in the task bar.

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
    Dim procArray() As System.Diagnostics.Process

    procArray = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad")
    If procArray.Length > 0 Then
       MessageBox.Show(IsIconic(procArray(0).Handle))
    End If
End Sub

'Handle' will return the process handle. You may want to use
'MainWindowHandle' instead.
