Hi,

I need to bring my application running (minimized initially) to front
of all running application, Similar to what happens when we press
alt-tab key combination.

OS: win XP

I have already tried the following API's

SetFocus(hMainWindow);
SetForegroundWindow(hMainWindow);
ShowWindow(hMainWindow, SW_SHOW) ;
SetActiveWindow(hMainWindow);

Thanks in advance.

Regards

GetWindowPlacement
SetWindowPlacement or MoveWindow, I can't remember anymore.

SetWindowPos() can position a window on the screen and in the
Z order. I've never tried to pull a window from a minimized
state, so I'm not sure this will meet your needs. But this
is one more function you can try.

Hi Guys,

The Api's u suggested did half the Magic.
The application window comes to front if it is minimized but not when
it is hidden by some other application.

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks for your response
