I had the same problem. The best solution I have found is to call ShowWindow with the flag SW_MINIMIZE, and then with SW_RESTORE. :D

Another possible solution: // Code to display a window regardless of its current state ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW); // Make the window visible if it was hidden ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_RESTORE); // Next, restore it if it was minimized SetForegroundWindow(hWnd); // Finally, activate the window
