Spriggsy and I both found slightly different methods with a common requirement. You have to write code to minimize the window and restore it. Doing that forces it active. The downside is the slight loss of window effect or the effect of seeing the window go to the task bar and back. I mention the two visuals because you could hide the window before minimizing it, which gets rid of the task bar trip effect. Anyway, this was the way I got the TCP/IP messenger app user friendly.
