How to Minimize, Maximize External Running Program through my VB.Net Application

[Ramkishan Algude via DotNetMonster.com]

I am New Member on this site. And also new learner to .Net.
I have a query, I have to minimize/maximize the currently running some
applications on my system through my VB.Net application.

Please can any one help me..!!!

If you want the current application minimized/maximized then do this:

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState .Maximized
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState .Minimized

P/invoke with 'ShowWindow':

\\\
Imports System.Diagnost ics
..
..
..
Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32.dll " ( _
ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, _
ByVal nCmdShow As SHOW_WINDOW _
) As Boolean

<Flags()> _
Private Enum SHOW_WINDOW As Integer
SW_HIDE = 0
SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
SW_NORMAL = 1
SW_SHOWMINIMIZE D = 2
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZE D = 3
SW_MAXIMIZE = 3
SW_SHOWNOACTIVA TE = 4
SW_SHOW = 5
SW_MINIMIZE = 6
SW_SHOWMINNOACT IVE = 7
SW_SHOWNA = 8
SW_RESTORE = 9
SW_SHOWDEFAULT = 10
SW_FORCEMINIMIZ E = 11
SW_MAX = 11
End Enum

Private Sub MaximizeAllNote pads()
For Each p As Process In Process.GetProc essesByName("no tepad")
ShowWindow(p.Ma inWindowHandle, SHOW_WINDOW.SW_ MAXIMIZE)
Next p
End Sub
