I had a similar problem and I had to develop a simple C# console application that brings to front a Window. The windows is selected using the window title pass as argument.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
[DllImport("USER32.DLL", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(String lpClassName, String lpWindowName);
[DllImport("USER32.DLL")]
public static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
private static extern bool IsIconic(IntPtr handle);
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
private static extern bool ShowWindow(IntPtr handle, int nCmdShow);
const int SW_RESTORE = 9;
public static void bringToFront(string title)
{
// Get a handle to the Calculator application.
IntPtr handle = FindWindow(null, title);
// Verify that Calculator is a running process.
if (handle == IntPtr.Zero)
{
return;
}
if (IsIconic(handle))
{
ShowWindow(handle, SW_RESTORE);
}
Console.WriteLine("Founded ");
SetForegroundWindow(handle);
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length > 0)
bringToFront(args[0]);
else
Console.WriteLine("specify program window title");
}
}
}
the code of my batch script is then something similar to
tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq program.exe" | find "program.exe"
if errorlevel 1 (program.exe) else (BringToFront.exe "Program Window Title")
]
