Hi;

Is there a way when calling Process.Start(), or on it's return, to use the
Process object returned to make the app it started the selected application
and move it above the app that made this call?

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure if I've fully understood your question: do you mean that you
need to bring the window from the spawned process to front?

I think you can enumerate the top level windows and determine if it's from
the spawned process (by checking process id, you can get a window's process
id by using GetWindowThreadProcessId); then use SetForegroundWindow to
bring a window to front.
