I have a simple WPF application. When it loads and I am typing in any other application (like Word or IM), my WPF app steals the focus – screwing up my typing, of course. Now, this is the very behavior I find annoying in other applications. How can I prevent this behavior?

    Setting ShowActivated = false on your window prior to calling Show() should accomplish what you want.
