Parameters
hWnd
[in] Handle to the window that should be activated and brought to the foreground.
Return Values
Nonzero indicates that the window was brought to the foreground. Zero indicates that the window was not brought to the foreground.
Remarks

The thread that owns the window is not given a priority boost.
