WPF Window Activate Not Capturing Focus

I have a legacy C++ application and a WPF application that communicate via sockets. The legacy application launches a WPF window by sending data over the socket that the WPF application handles. The application creates a Window and calls the Activate method on it. Topmost is set to true on the window and back to false like so to bring the window to the front.

window.Topmost = true; window.Activate(); window.Topmost = false;

The problem is that sometimes focus remains in the parent C++ window although the WPF window is activated and on top. When Activate() returns true, focus is in the WPF window. When Activate() returns false, focus is in the C++ window. Does anyone have any ideas on how to move focus to the WPF window every time?

Thanks,

Nick

Set Focus to any control in the WPF window. This should make the window the focused window.
