Activating WinForm with Handle (VB .NET)

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to activate a winform using its handle? For example, if you know the handle (intptr) and the window is minimized or behind another window. Is it possible to Activate the winform using that handle?

you could use interop to use the user32 dll example here http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/ActivateSingleAppInstance.asp

Is there a way without doing it with using the WinHelper? I've seen that link before...but I'm trying to look for another solution without using the WinHelper. Any suggestions?

You don't have to put that stuff in it's own class. You can just put the same code into your form code if you want. But, keeping all of your Win32 wrappers in a seperate class like that makes it very easy to reuse without having to copy and paste gobs of code everywhere.
