Focus an Out of Focus window

I have a winforms with multiple windows.I show the window by using

myform.show();

Currently the form's top bar (with the close and minimize button) is out of focus. I need it to be focused.

I tried

myform.Focus();

It does not work.

For Example this how the window looks now..

enter image description here

I need it to be like this

enter image description here

I need it to be focused (see the top bar) without user intervention of clicking on it.Please advice.

Some other control is taking focus away from the form after you are calling myform.Focus();

To get around this, you can wait until the form (and hopefully most of your controls) have been loaded and shown on the form, and then call this.Focus();

In the Form.Shown() event handler call this.Focus();

For Example:

    private void Form_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.Focus();
    }
