Question

I’m using Visual Basic 2010 Express.
I have a form that can be minimized.
There’s also a tray icon.
I’ve coded it so that if you double-click on the tray icon, the form’s FormWindowState becomes set to Normal; this restores the form to where was before it became minimized, but the form does not become the active window on my desktop.

How can I make the form become the active most foreground window? I’ve tried various functions that I can think of but no luck yet. Tried searching with various queries to try and find the right wording but no luck.

I’m new to Visual Basic – only started a couple hours ago.

Probably something simple but I can’t seem to find the correct function or anything… Please enlighten me! Thanks.

Edit for further info:
Say I have the form/window open, and then I overlap said form with a window of another application. When I double-click my app’s tray icon, I want my window to become the active window, bringing it to the front, but can’t figure out how >_<

Answer 1

Try Form.Activate()
