Hi,

Kindly go thru the belwo scenario:

1. Have word 2007 document with Content Controls.
2. Showing an User control OnContentControl_Enter event.
3. Closing the User control on user control's DeActivate event.

Here I am trying to Activate/SetFocus the Word Window.

Whats happening: when I click on the document the User control got closed and the focus not into the word document. The document got the focus on the second click.

If possible, kindly provide a solution else give me the reason of this behavior.

The inner window is ActiveDocument.Activate() as you are allready in Word the Application.Activate will only fire if not the primary window.
