[Maya-Python] 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 cmdsimport maya.mel as mm

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