Tim,

The OP is probably talking about a window that's part of the 
application, like when you open the Preferences dialog or how some Excel 
versions can allow one to open multiple spreadsheets and minimize them 
within the application.

As to how to manipulate that sort of thing in a pre-made app... I 
haven't the slightest... except maybe SendKeys or the links you gave.
