Summary:

An application can zoom, or maximize, another application by performing the following two steps:

  Find the handle to the application’s window by using the EnumWindows function.   Use the PostMessage function to post a message to that application’s message queue as follows: if (fWindowToZoom) PostMessage(hWndToZoom, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MAXIMIZE, 0L); 

An application can use this code to maximize any application running under Windows.
