Have you tried Form.WindowState?

 

[ray well]

thanks anand for your answer

Form.ActiveForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal, works only for the
CURRENT RUNNING APP


i need to RESTORE ANOTHER WINDOW OF ANOTHER APP whose handle i have FROM
WITHIN A CURRENT APP.

You can use pinvoke and call the ShowWindow API with the SW_MAXIMIZE flag:

That would be SW_RESTORE as the poster wants to restore the window, not
maximize it.
