How do I maximize a form????????

[Susan]

I am currently hiding a form until a key is pressed (I am
using the command "this.Hide();" to hide the form). When
that key is pressed, I am once again showing this form,
with the command "container.Show();". My problem is that
when I do this, it always brings up the form in a
minimized state, causing the user to have to click on it
at the bottom in the task bar. I need to have that form
open as normal, or maximized. I tried using the
command "container.WindowState =
FormWindowState.Maximized;" but that just isn't doing it
for me. Can anyone help. I am sure it is stupidly
simple, but I just can't get it to work.
Thanks

It is most probably because form is not active (toplevel) when you do Show

... in which case, try Focus() (or is it Activate()?).
