how to get windows

To show the Window to the user, you need to use the SetForegroundWindow API:

To get the handle of a process, simply use the Process class, which lives in the System.Diagnostics namespace, to get the list of processes, then find the one you want and get the handle to it, then use the SetForegroundWindows API to show the process Window to the user

You could also use the FindWindow API to find the Window by the name of the process (title) if you have not already:

there are a couple of thread on these forums...try looking at these:

unfortunately for yourself, that code is in C# but a VB.NET translation would be:

'Me.theSystrayNotifyIcon = new NotifyIcon(Me.components) Me.theSystrayNotifyIcon.Icon = new Icon(Me.Icon, Me.Icon.Width, Me.Icon.Height) Me.theSystrayNotifyIcon.Visible = true 'AddHandler theSystrayNotifyIcon.DoubleClick, AddressOf Me.theSystrayNotifyIcon_DoubleClick 'unsure how to handle event declaration in VB.NET...something for you to perhaps look at if the above doesnt work ... Private Sub theSystrayNotifyIcon_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles theSystrayNotifyIcon.DoubleClick if Me.Visible = true then Me.Hide() else Me.Show() Me.BringToFront() Me.Activate() end if End Sub
