    [edit]I was thinking of the GetWindowPlacement function. However, Sebastiani's suggestion may be cleaner.[/edit]

    IsZoomed() for maximized, IsIconic() for minimized.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

Yipee!, I cried out in excitement and unbridled joy (OK, I didn't really do that but you can).
