Hi,
First get the handle of the foreground window:
GetForegroundWindow()
Then restore the minimized window:
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SYSCOMMAND,..........);
Or,
SetWindowPlacement()
Then activate and display the foreground window:
SetforegroundWindow()

Shame you have to do this as windows is supposed to make it difficult to
take focus...

The SetFocus function returns a handle to the window that had focus.
Have you tried keeping that value and then calling SetFocus on it? As
in:
HWND hWndOld = ::SetFocus( hWndWant );
::SetFocus( hWndOld );

Separate process may be a problem, but I don't remember details
offhand.

Re: Restore a window WITHOUT activation
Not quite the same question, but you might check a current thread
called "Set focus programmatically without raising to foreground?" in
this newsgroup.
