bring the external application window into focus

I have an external application running which I have opened from matlab. I need to get the application window into focus whenever I require. I have tried using Appactivate method from wScript shell but it doesn't work. Is there a way to bring the window into focus?

Thanks krishna.

Did you use system() to start the application from MATLAB ? Or did you use winopen() ?

I used 'run' method from the wscript shell COM component. Also I used winopen. I tried both.
