It sounds like the problem is that your application isn't the currently
active process when you try to bring the window to the front. If you are
running on Win98/ME/2K then it doesn't let you bring a window to the front
unless it belongs to the active process. Instead it flashes the icon on the
task bar to let the user know that the application wants your attention.
I posted some code here recently that works around this by running the
restore code in the context of the current process. If you want I'll repost
it... I think it'll solve the problem.
