Pop ups in webbrowser control opening as minimized

Hi,

I am working on a POC solution where in I have a form application which has webbrowser control in it rendering some data. This application is hidden and will not be visible to the user (no UI).

I have setup some timer. On triggering of this timer, I want to send a click event to the browser control so that clicked link is opened (like any normal window that opens in IE). I am simulating the click event using postmessage. Everything seems to be working fine except for the following issue.

Whenever the click event is received, the pop window is not opening as the top normal window. It is opening as minimized blinking task bar menu. I need to click that to see the opened pop up.

But what I want is the pop up to open as top window (windowstate normal) like we see on clicking any link in IE.

I am not able to find out what is that I am missing here.

Any help or pointer is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Do we have anything that we can do on the browser control app rather than editing the javascript? We are getting the content form a content server maintained by a 3rd party.
