Hi,
you can get reference to parent form by this code:
this.ParentForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

Why would you want to do that? 'SendKeys.Send' is always problematic
because there is no guarantee the input is directed to the expected window.

Hi,
I think senkeys is not appropriate in this scenario.By that it will become
unnecessarily complex.I have one request is that if you have found my post
helpful then please do click "Yes" at "Was this post helpful to you?"
