Hello,

I want to bring another app (ext_app) to foreground. I do it like this:

ExtHandle = FindWindow("CalssName","Caption");
PostMessage(ExtHandle,WM_SYSCOMMAND,SC_RESTORE,0);
SetForegroundWindow(ExtHandle);

The minimized ext_app comes to foreground, it works.

But if I want to minimize the ext_app (which was restore/comes to 
foreground) it doesn't work. I can click to the minimize button but nothing 
happens. I use the system menu but nothing happens too. After I restore the 
ext_app by my application I can't minimize the ext_app anymore.

Regards
Andreas
