ArcGIS Explorer Extension - Bring To Front

[SeanConnolly]

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.

I would also like to Minimize ArcGIS Explorer. I am creating this extension in .NET

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#?
