Sent to front an open document

[rtejada]

Hi
I am opening a drawing using the application documents object open method and it opens sucessfully but, it is sent back of the current document windows. I then use the document object active method to bring it to front, but I discovered that by doing so, it interrupts the program execution unless I activate the window that I want to keep on the back. Is there a way to open a drawing, keep it to the front and continue the program execution?

I will appreciate any help

Im having the same problem...

Can someone please help.

this is how i am calling the file-open
Dim file As Document = Application.DocumentManager.Open(filename, False)

I then attempt to zoom in by calling
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.SendStringToExecute("_Zoom _E ", False, True, False

The file will load but behind the default drawing1.dwg document. I need it to load in the foreground and remain there.

Any help much appreciated...

Have you tried setting MdiActiveDocument to the newly opened Document?
For example:
Dim file As Document = Application.DocumentManager.Open(filename, False)
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument = file

Your code must be running in the application context
in order to switch active documents.
