Hi Charles, It seems it's impossible to do what you are trying to without reverting to p/invoke calls. Also the compatibility between different operating system versions depends on the functions you are calling; user32, by the way, is one of the Windows core library that more than others should maintain retro-compatibility. So no, there should be no problem in using these functions but, to be sure, please see MSDN for every function you are trying to use. Btw very simple functions like FindWindow, EnumWindows and ShowWindow will certainly have no issues. Keep in mind, however, that this code will of course not be (completely) portable across different .NET platforms (Mono, for example). Hope this helps. -- Efran Cobisi http://www.cobisi.com Charles Gamble wrote: > Hi, > > > > For our .NET C# application we need to maximize the window of another > running application, the only way we found to do this was to DLLImport > user32.dll and call some methods on it. > > Is this ok to do this?
