Description

There are 2 private API functions that Deskbar uses to show and hide all windows of a running application:

The 2 private functions are:

They are declared in headers/private/interface/WindowInfo.h and implemented in InterfaceDefs.cpp

do_minimize_team(...);
do_bring_to_front_team(...);

I would be nice if these could be exposed as public APIs in BRoster (which already has the related public function):

status_t ActivateApp(team_id team) const;

(The problem with ActivateApp() is that if the application is currently hidden, this method will not un-hide it).

It was proposed as a start that we create 2 new public functions in BRoster:

status_t HideTeam(team_id team);
status_t BringTeamToFront(team_id team);
