Public Enum ShowWindowCommands As UInteger
    '''<Summary>Draws a frame (defined in the window's class description) around the window.</Summary>
    SWP_DRAWFRAME = &H0020

    '''<Summary>Sends a WM_NCCALCSIZE message to the window, even if the window's size is not being changed. If this flag is not specified, WM_NCCALCSIZE is sent only when the window's size is being changed.</Summary>

    SWP_HIDEWINDOW = &H0080

    SWP_NOACTIVATE = &H0010

    '''<Summary>Discards the entire contents of the client area. If this flag is not specified, the valid contents of the client area are saved and copied back into the client area after the window is sized or repositioned.</Summary>

This applies to the client area, the nonclient area (including the title bar and scroll bars), and any part of the parent window uncovered as a result of the window being moved. When this flag is set, the application must explicitly invalidate or redraw any parts of the window and parent window that need redrawing.</Summary>
