[DUG] Forcing a shellexecute window onto top.

[Phil Scadden]

Having some fun with Shellexecute. I am using it from my program to
get another application open one of its documents. No problem there. 
However, if the application is ALREADY running, then the document
is opened within the existing application. Hmm. Not so good but no
real problem. Now the real problem. If the application is covered by another
window, this it is not brought to top and its not obvious that the document
has been opened all. It looks like my application is not doing its job.

I am calling shellexecute with shownormal. Any way to force the application
to the top short of scanning the process list or findwindow and calling
setwindowpos on that instance?
