Is there a way to programmatically minimize a window

What I'm doing is I have a full-screen form, with no title bar, and consequently lacks the minimize/maximize/close buttons found in the upper-right hand corner. I'm wanting to replace that functionality with a keyboard short-cut and a context menu item, but I can't seem to find an event to trigger to minimize the form.

There's no point minimizing an already minimized form. So here we go:

if (form_Name.WindowState != FormWindowState.Minimized) form_Name.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
