Activate issue with StandardMdiHost

Docking/MDI for WPF Forum

I'm having an issue with activating a DocumentWindow that is created programmatically. Try these steps in your Standard MDI-only sample app:
  1. Notice that when the form is initially displayed that Document1 is "active".
  2. Do a File->New.
  3. Notice that Document1 is still the active DocumentWindow.
The code in CreateTextDocumentWindow does a documentWindow.Activate(). Is there something else that needs to be done in order to get this newly-created window to be the active one?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, we've updated our code to do an UpdateLayout right before trying to set focus. That appears to resolve it. This will be in the next maintenance release.

Is there anything that we can do in our code as a workaround. We're in a time crunch and need to get this working.
