ArcGIS Explorer Extension - Bring To Front

Question

Hello,

I am creating an Extension and I would like to be able to bring the ArcGIS Explorer window to the front; ArcGIS Explorer may be minimized or there may be another window hiding it.

You will need to use the Windows API to perform these types of operations on an application window like ArcGIS Explorer.
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

private static void BringArcGisExplorerToFront()
{[INDENT]
    IntPtr handle = ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application.Application.Window.Handle;
    SetForegroundWindow(handle);[/INDENT]
}

And here is an MSDN post on a similar method for setting the state of a window (e.g. minimized, maximized): How do I maximize/minimize applications programmatically in C#?
