How to minimize a window

[dushkin]

hi. i have tried everything at this point.
my code to minimize a form is:

Form f = new Form();
f.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized();

from what i have read that should work. but it doesn't.
I am thinking that there is a properties value that
is competing with this command. i have played with
everything that was set and i still can't minimize this
window. Any ideas about what i might be doing wrong at
this point would be very helpful.

thanks in advance.
