Sending a mouse click to a button in the taskbar using C#

Question

In an application that I am currently working on, a requirement is to bring a window of an external application to the foreground. Making Win32 API calls such as BringWindo

Answer 1

To be honest I've never had an issue bringing a window to the foreground on XP/Vista/2003/2000.

You need to make sure you do the following:

1. Check if IsIconic (minimized)
2. If #1 results in true then call ShowWindow passing SW_RESTORE
3. Then call SetForegroundWindow

I've never had problems that I can think of doing it with those steps.
