Anchor Window Opens in Stencil

Hi,

I'm using the example for the AnchorBarsUsage in the SDK but have run into a
glitch that I can't figure out.

If I have a drawing with the stencil window open (I do this through my .net
app on an activex drawing control) and I open an anchor bar, the anchor bar
opens within the active stencil window. If I first click on the drawing
surface the anchor window (properly) opens there. I've verified this through
Graham Widemans DocPgWin, which shows a nesting and that my anchor is
opening within the stencil window. My line of code to open the anchor window
is:

anchorWindow = visioApplication.ActiveWindow.Windows.Add(...)

I think to fix this I need to set the drawing surface as the active window
but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get that window? I've tried
all of these lines to try and get the window but they all throw an exception
of 'invalid window identifier'

visioApplication.Windows.GetFromID(VisWinTypes.visApplication)
visioApplication.Windows.GetFromID(VisWinTypes.visDrawing)

Not sure what's going on?
