How to give focus to a 2nd process?

[Dan Neely]

I'm using a browser to display documentation. I've got a Process object to
it stored, but can't find a way to give it focus the 2nd+ time the user
presses the help button.

Try using the SetForegroundWindow Win32 API, something like

SetForegroundWindow(yourProcess.MainWindowHandle);

.... If that doesn't work you can probably post a bring to front or
focus message to the other process via the Process.MainWindowHandle
property
