+Summary: [Windows] Menus steal focus from form.
+
+Description of Problem:
+When a menu is clicked, focus moves from the form to the menu.  (The form's
+title bar dims and the form's taskbar button is deselected.) 
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Run winforms\formstest
+2. Click the file menu item.
+
+Actual Results:
+The form's titlebar dims (loses focus).
+
+Expected Results:
+The form should keep focus.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+Most of the solution seems like this:
+http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/44/221214.aspx.  If I add:
+
+[DllImport ("user32.dll")]
+private extern static IntPtr SetActiveWindow (IntPtr handle);
+private const int WM_ACTIVATE = 6;
+private const int WA_INACTIVE = 0;
+
+protected override void WndProc (ref Message m)
+{
+  if (m.Msg == WM_ACTIVATE) {
+    if (((int)m.WParam & 0xFFFF) != WA_INACTIVE) {
+      if (m.LParam != IntPtr.Zero) SetActiveWindow (m.LParam);
+    }
+  }
+  base.WndProc (ref m);
+}
+
+to System.Windows.Forms.PopUpWindow (MenuAPI.cs), it fixed the focus
+problem, which is the main part.  The taskbar button is still deselected. 
+Maybe someone know how to fix that part.  I didn't submit this as a patch,
+as the code probably needs to be cleaned up, and there may be an internal
+method to call that already wraps this dll call.
