I am creating an app in Windows for desktop use that uses the MinimizeApp() command after a specific period of time. This works well but I would now also like to "Restore", or at very least Maximize the app bringing it back to the foreground still running.

I cannot find a command to do this, is it missing or do I need to do it a different way?

as workaround maybe use SetWindowPosition offscreen and back if this is possible.

Thanks Marcus.
Its generally a need for a "work-around" unless and until a command is released. I am trying to replace MinimizeApp() and the not available MaximizeApp() with SetWindowSize and Position to try to achieve a similar effect although it will still be within the desktop window.

I've added RestoreWindow to the next version. This will only work on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
