How to programmatically bring a Word window to front?

[Andrew]

Hello, friends,

In c#.net 2005, we have the following source, hoping to bring a Word window
to front. However, it does not work.

Any ideas? How to bring a Word window to front?

Thanks a lot.

------------------- source code

foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc in this.wordApp.Documents)
{
if (String.Compare(doc.Path + "\\" + doc.Name, fullPathFileName, true)
== 0)
{
doc.Activate();
return;
}
}

I don't believe you can bring the document to the foreground with
doc.Activate() call, only make it the active document. You should call
this.wordApp.Activate() after doc.Activate() to bring the Word window to
the foreground.
