Hi, I am new to visual basic,
I was given a window handle (IntPtr),
how can I set visibility of this window to hide, in background, and in foreground visible ?

Thanks

You would use the ShowWindow API function. If you don't know how to use Platform Invoke (pinvoke) to call unmanaged functions then you should learn that first. When looking at examples, just be aware that a lot of the VB examples are written for VB6 rather than VB.NET. Such examples will use the Long data type where you need to use Integer.

You probably also need this: GetForegroundWindow function (winuser.h) - Win32 apps
