MainWindowHandle worked fine, until I would hide the window on minimize & made a TrayIcon visible instead. In this case, MainWindowHandle returned the handle of the TrayIcon... Gotta love that beautiful win32 API, huh? :D | |

| Feb 1, 2012 at 22:35 | comment | added | KeithS | Good info. Apparently I fell into the trap. Anyway, FindWindow, given that you know the title of the window you want, gives the right answer. | |
| Feb 1, 2012 at 19:10 | comment | added | Deanna | There is no "Main window" concept, the author of that object just assumed that the first would be it. Further more, MSDN says "Brings the thread that created the specified window into the foreground" | |
