Is there something special you have to do when maximizing DirectX programs? In my WM_ACTIVATE handler, I restore all the ddraw surfaces and re-acquire all my dinput devices (I am not using DirectSound or anything else), but the program wont maximize again. What could the problem be?

Here is the current code:
case WM_ACTIVATEAPP:
{
if(activated) // activated is set the first time the game window is activated
{
BOOL fActive = (BOOL)wParam;
if(fActive == TRUE)
{
// reacquire dinput devices
keyboard->Acquire();

// restore ddraw surfaces
if(primaryBuffer->IsLost())
{
while(FAILED(primaryBuffer->Restore()))
WaitMessage();
}
if(backBuffer->IsLost())
{
while(FAILED(backBuffer->Restore()))
WaitMessage();
}

// put the game back to the previous state
gameState = prevGameState;
}
else
{
// take down the current state and set the new state
// so that it wont try to update anything
prevGameState = gameState;
gameState = GAME_STATE_NULL;
}
}
} break;

sorry about the bad spacing
