Hi iam planning to handle this in some different way.
using sendkeys.send() method to minimize the application, for that i have to
pass the argument of (LWin+M). Lwin is for windows logo key and M, these
combination will minimize the application, but the problem is how to pass
this combination to sendkeys.Send(), i searched in the net but so far nothing
i got regarding this, Can u please help so that i can implement this feature

Regards

Hi,
you can get reference to parent form by this code:
this.ParentForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;

Hi,
I think senkeys is not appropriate in this scenario.By that it will become
unnecessarily complex.I have one request is that if you have found my post
helpful then please do click "Yes" at "Was this post helpful to you?"

Why would you want to do that? 'SendKeys.Send' is always problematic
because there is no guarantee the input is directed to the expected window.
