Dumb comment, if TopMost no need to call SetForegroundWindow.

can you tell me how to use [DllImport("user32.dll")] though i am using the namespace using System.Runtime.InteropServices its not wokring for me..
can u please help me.

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks man .it is working fine

Yes,
If you calling form has TopMost set to true,This does not work !

That works great !!! thanks.


[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool
SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

calling in my Form1 as :

SetForegroundWindow(this.Handle);

Thank you! The following code may be useful to someone. It starts, then stops an app, based on the process handle, stopping based on a timer:
// member
Process activatedApp = null;

[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

// in 'activate' button click handler, connected to a timer the user gives input for
activatedApp = Process.Start(AppExePath.Text.Trim());

// in the CloseApp handler (connected to another timer)
SetForegroundWindow(activatedApp.MainWindowHandle);
if (activatedApp.Responding)
{
SendKeys.SendWait("%F"); // "%" represents the Alt key; "^" Cntrl and "+" Shift
SendKeys.SendWait("x");
}
else
{
activatedApp.Kill();
}

Salut!

A slight mistake in my commenting above: The 'activate' button handler starts a timer based on user input and the line:
activatedApp = Process.Start(AppExePath.Text.Trim());
responds to that timer.

Cheers

Hello,
I have this problem.
SetForegroundWindow is still unrecognized by the VS.NET compiler of C# even if I implement user32.dll as follow
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
and
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
SetForegroundWindow(_hWndHAP);
Error: SetForegroundWindow Not exist in the current context
Can someone suggest...pls
