Please add some!
Sample Code:
[Visual Basic.NET]
CloseWindow(Me.Object.Handle)
[C#.NET]
// Close the foreground window
CloseWindow(GetForeGroundWindow());
this should be CloseWindow(this.Handle);
Alternative Managed API:
You can use the WindowState property of the Form class and set this to FormWindowState.Minimized.
