Toggle Outlook form between hide and show

Hi,

I have two Outlook forms and one controls the visibility of the other. When I click on a button in the first form it will hide/show the other form. Currently upon the first click I can make the second form hide. However, upon trying to un-hide the form, it does not re-appear. I was using the following code to control the visibility:

bool isFormShowing = adxOlFormsCollectionItem2.Enabled;

if (isFormShowing == false)
{
adxOlFormsCollectionItem2.RestoreFromMinimizedState = true;
adxOlFormsCollectionItem2.Enabled = true;
}
else{
adxOlFormsCollectionItem2.Enabled = false;
}

I did originally just use .Enabled = !isFormShowing, but this did not work and so I also tried using RestoreFromMinimizedState[/CODE]
