Set focus to a process and maximize it?

[Michael Passalacqua]

I have the Process object for a process. How do I set focus to that
process and maximize it?

The .Net process object has a MainWindowHandle property. The process whose
window you want to max must have such main window. The MainWindowHandle
gives your the native handle of that window, so you can call a Win32
function "ShowWindow" with this handle.

You need declare it like
<DllImport("user32", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)>
Public Declare Function ShowWindow(ByVal hwnd as IntPtr, ByVal nCmdShow as
Integer) as Boolean

you need check Win32 document to see how to pass the nCmdShow.

Thanks
