There are multiple ways of creating this functionality. Here's one approach; There's a "hotkey" that you can define for a shortcut. Right-click on any icon in the quicklaunch-taskbar, and you'll see where you can enter a "shortcut key" to launch the application. If the application is launched, then check whether your application is already running. If it is, send it a message that it should restore it's main window :)

I are troll :)

Hi, you can set a keyboard hook see this[^] for a example, it is in C# but can easy be converted to VB.NET. Regards: Didi

This also requires that the app be running all of the time in order to work. Your solution is way too complex for the problem at hand, being overkill for something that can be done with a shortcut at installation time.

...he sayed, that his app is running in the background. So, if I understand him right, he is looking for a hook and not just for a hot-key to start the app. But anyway, he has both methods showed to him now, so he can choose. Regards: Didi
