For launching the external app check out Launch an Executable Programatically on Windows Mobile using CreateProcess and C#[^]

Not very helpful my friend. This has been reposted a couple of times as no-one seems to know the answer. Google does throw up how to launch another application, but setting the focus is rather more difficult. I don't know how to do it on Windows Mobile, the api's are all different from Windows desktop or server, and I did a bit of checking around as well. Came up dry. If you have some good search terms that find the answer to the activation problem maybe you could post them here. I am intrigued as to what you searched for if it is so easy to find.

Perhaps you should then try the mobile development forum, it seems to be more geared for your issue.

In normal windows applications this will work
System.Diagnostics.Process process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ProcessName.exe");
Something like that but i am sure you that you need to use the System.Diagnostic Namespace. Another solution could be to use System.Reflection but you need to do some more research on how to use that namespace but i am certain it's possible with System.Reflection. Best of luck :)
