You can do this using the Accessibility APIs. (I know I've done it)

Unfortunately I no longer have access to the source code of the ap I did it in, but its not too tricky.

Once you have read up on Accessibility, you just want to change the kAXMinimizedAttribute of an AXWindow.

Have searched the net a lot and even tried AppleScript-enabling the app, but nothing would work.

My app should be able to bring to front another cocoa app's window to the front. I have tried SetFrontProcess(), but all it does is to bring the menus to the front and not the minimized window of another app. This is possible and also without AppleScript, as I have seen another commercial app (unrelated) do the same thing (i.e. raising the minimized window to the front). That app's dictionary doesn't show in script editor, so I guess they may have done it without AppleScript.
Please help.

Nick
