I migrated a Powerbuilder application from 8.0 to 2019 R2. The application uses Microsoft Word Spellcheck to check the text in a RTF object. On Windows 7 computers, the spellcheck window appears and gets the focus but on Windows 10 computers the spellcheck does not appear until you click the Word icon in the taskbar. 

Any suggestions on how to get the spellcheck window to get the focus automatically would be greatly appreciated. We are eventually moving away from Microsoft Word so we are open to alternative solutions.

CODE:

oWord = CREATE oleobject
lnvuo_clipboard = CREATE nvuo_clipboard

IF oWord.ConnectToNewObject("word.application") <> 0 THEN return arg_s_somertf

oWord.Visible = FALSE

oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add

oWord.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
oWord.Application.ScreenUpdating = False

lnvuo_clipboard.nvuof_set(arg_l_winhandle, arg_s_somertf)
oWord.Selection.Paste
oDoc.CheckSpelling()

oDoc.Range.copy
lnvuo_clipboard.nvuof_get(arg_l_winhandle, ls_newRTF)

// Clear object memory
DESTROY lnvuo_clipboard

oDoc.saved = TRUE
oWord.Documents.Close (0) // Close file without saving

oWord.Quit() // Exit Word
DESTROY oWord
