In Visual Basic you use AppActivate when you want to set the focus on
another application. Does anyone know what the equivalent function call
is in C#?

Thanks,

Hi James,

You could use two techniques.

1) Use a combination of System.Diagnostics.Process and the API's
SetForegroundWindow and ShowWindow.
you can find an example of that here:

2) Reference Microsoft.VisualBasic.DLL and use
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.AppActivate("name");
