How to get back cursor control to word document from dialog box

In the plugin we developed,

After text changes were made in a document, a dialog box is popped to get some user information.
After entering the details,Ok button is clicked. On clicking Ok button, dialog box is closed, but cursor control does not come back to the active document. Could you please help me in achieving the same.

Hello Ishaat,

I suggest that you try to call Window.Activate() for the window containing that document. If this doesn't help, consider using SetFocus() Windows API method; see http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32/SetFocus.html. The function accepts a parameter, which is the HWND of the winfdow to activate; use https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/VBA/Word-VBA/articles/window-hwnd-property-word to get the value to pass to that method.
