Hi Vineeth,

Try calling the Activate method available for a number of Excel types. Say, Range.Activate, Workbook.Activate, Worksheet.Activate.

Hi Vineeth,

Where do you run your code? In an Excel add-in?

Hi Vineeth,

The following code works fine for me: 


        [DllImport("User32.dll")]
        private static extern bool SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hWnd);

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Excel.Application ExcelApp = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application") as Excel.Application; 
            SetForegroundWindow((IntPtr)ExcelApp.Hwnd);
        }
