Set Maya Active Window

[Wesley Chandler]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know a simple way to activate Maya's Interface as the active window?  I have my own pop up window UI with scripts on it.  When I press a button on the UI, I'd like it to run a few commands, and then set the maya window as the active one. 

I've dabbled with modelEditor but it seems to only set viewport active and not window active.

Any help is super appreciated!!

Thanks! :)

This should work:

import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.mel as mm

name = mm.eval("$tmp=$gMainWindow")
cmds.showWindow(name)
