    Resolved [RESOLVED] Restoring a form !

    OK this should be easy, I have a small application that uses 2 forms what I want to do is restore the 2nd form from the taskbar when the user tries to access it, assuming of course that it already exists.

    I've got all the code to check if an instance of the form exists, but can't seem to get it to restore from the taskbar.

    Surely this is simple I can't seem to find the method

    did you try Form.Focus? by forcing it focus it'll bring it up from the taskbar

    How about...
    VB Code:
    1. Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal

    Thanks for the help, I'd tried form.focus but it didn't work.

    However frmConfig.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal works perfectly !
