Process switching

[Millzy01]

Hi, I have a application that looks for a running process and if it doesnt find it starts it (System.Diagnostics.process.start), however if the process is running i want to set it as the active window and i cant seem to find out how to do it.
so if anyone knows them please post a reply.

I'm assuming your using a process object (ex Dim p as Process).

Use the following function:

Private Declare Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" Alias "SetForegroundWindow" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr) As Integer

The just call it like this (where p is the target Process object):

SetForegroundWindow(p.MainWindowHandle)

Hope that helps.
