I have a Hwnd for a window that I want to bring to the front and give focus.
This window is not part of my application, but is being controlled by my
app. I get the Hwnd from the applications COM object model. Can I take
this Hwnd and give the form focus? Thanks!

Thanks for the link! I thought that I might have to go the win api route.
