{
    public static void Unminimize(Window window)
    {
        var hwnd = (HwndSource.FromVisual(window) as HwndSource).Handle;
        ShowWindow(hwnd, ShowWindowCommands.Restore);
    }

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    private static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr hWnd, ShowWindowCommands nCmdShow);

    private enum ShowWindowCommands : int
    {
        /// 

        /// Activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or 
        /// maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. 
        /// An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized window.
        /// 
        Restore = 9,
    }
}
