Bring To Front

[Guest]

Hi,

I've a windows application, with RegisterHotKey.
my problem is that when i press the HotKey, i want that a window form will
pop-up, and that's what happens but, the window is in a miniMize state
(incase my application is not focused). meaning, if i'm using Outlook and
pressing the HotKey, my new window will be in a minimize state instead of
being in the fornt of my screen.
I'm using the BringToFront() function but still i don't get the result i need.
maybe i'm using it not in the right place... ?

Thanks,
Gidi.

You could check the Form's WindowState; if it is Minimized, change it
to Normal (or what it was last)?

Hello Gidi,

This is standard behaviour, since win 98 and above.
Everything you can do, by standard is to use set the correct form state and
call Form.Activate. But it doesn't make your windows above your Outlook

another tricks, about making form "really active" involves registry editing
