I am trying to make a program that will run on a system. The program will launch a driver on startup, which displays a cmd window. I am trying to get my program to come back to the front after it opens this. I have tried using a few different things such as:

Me.BringToFront
Me.Activate
Me.Show

However, none of these have worked so far, does anyone know of another way I can do this?

`Me.TopMost = True` then `Me.Activate()` then `Me.TopMost = False`. – Reza Aghaei Feb 04 '20 at 17:18

There are a bunch of solutions [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/5282588/3110834). – Reza Aghaei Feb 04 '20 at 17:20
Thanks @RezaAghaei, this is exactly what I needed. – MCSGaming Feb 04 '20 at 17:32

If you mean to *obscure* the cmd Window, maybe you can just *hide* it (run the Process without a Window, if possible, and/or use `[Process].StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden`) – Jimi Feb 04 '20 at 17:36
@Jimi Thanks for this, this works brilliantly. – MCSGaming Feb 04 '20 at 17:40
