FindWindow/SetForegroundWindow

| I'm writing an app for Smartphone (WM2003) in C#. I am trying to write it
so that only one instance will run at a given time. I have added code that
checks for a mutex. If found, it attempts to do a FindWindow and
SetForegroundWindow to bring the application to the front. It is not
working. Is their something different about FindWindow and/or
SetForegroundWindow on Smartphone? Does anyone have an example that works
for them?

| Form-based CF applications have this feature included. In fact you have to
jump through the hoops to make it behave otherwise. See here

| Well, I have an application that opens a from from the main() function, and
if I press the home key on my phone and then click the icon to launch the
app again, it does not bring it to the front. I have a motorola MPx220 with
WM2003.
Any ideas?
