Hi,
You will have to PInvoke, first you need to get the handle of the target
window, then you need to give it focus.
Here is some code:
[DllImport("coredll",EntryPoint="FindWindow")]
public static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName,string
lpWindowName);
[DllImport("coredll",EntryPoint="SetForegroundWindow")]
public static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);
//this is how you use it
IntPtr mainwin = FindWindow(null, "Product Details");
if(! mainwin.Equals(new System.IntPtr(0)))
{
//Ask for login/Password
SetForegroundWindow(mainwin);
}
cheers,
