I wonder if anyone know how to activate a window with a given window
handler. I used to do this with the win32 API
static native boolean SetForegroundWindow(int hwnd);
I wonder if there is native support for that within .NET, instead having to
call WIN32 API.

Michael,
You can try the Form.Activate() method, but I am not sure this is the exact
equivalent to the SetForegroundWindow() API.

Still Win32.
Are you looking to just bring a window up?
Does ShowWindowAsync work for what you are doing? This will bring it to
the top of the z-order and restore it if minimized.
Public Const SW_RESTORE = 9
Public Const HWND_TOP = 0
Public Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Public Const HWND_NOTOPMOST = -2
Public Const SWP_NOMOVE = &H2
Public Const SWP_NOSIZE = &H1
Declare Function ShowWindowAsync Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal
nCmdShow As Integer) As Integer
Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal
hWndInsertAfter As Integer, ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer, ByVal cx
As Integer, ByVal cy As Integer, ByVal wFlags As Integer) As Integer
ShowWindowAsync(temphwnd, SW_RESTORE)
'bring it to the top of the z-order
SetWindowPos(temphwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE)
'unlock it where it is
SetWindowPos(temphwnd, HWND_NOTOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE)
//Win32APIs.ShowWindowAsync(whdl.ToInt32(), Win32APIs.SC_RESTORE);
doen'st work, but the following 2 lines did work. Any idea why?
Win32APIs.SetForegroundWindow(whdl.ToInt32());
Win32APIs.SendNotifyMessage(whdl.ToInt32(), Win32APIs.WM_SYSCOMMAND,
Win32APIs.SC_RESTORE, 0);
