user keystrokes interpretted by publisher   

I am automating publisher (2003) within my c++ application. The ffollowing 
code illustrates how I am opening a pub file are interating through shapes. 
within this loop, if a user clicks any keys on the keyboard, the keysstrokes 
are accepted by publisher and actually appear on the resulting publisher 
document.

Publisher::_DocumentPtr Template = m_app->Open(Document, variant_t(true), 
variant_t(false), Publisher::pbDoNotSaveChanges);
Template->ActiveWindow->PutVisible(_variant_t(true));

long lTotPag = Template->Pages->Count;
for (long lPag = 1; lPag <= lTotPag; lPag++)
{
	Publisher::PagePtr Page = Template->Pages->GetItem(lPag);
	Template->ActiveView->PutActivePage(Page);
	Page = Template->ActiveView->GetActivePage();
	iTotShp = Page->Shapes->Count;
	// perform operations on textbox shapes in the page 
}

Am I doing something wrong here? The publisher document is not visible 
during my shapes loop, but the users keystrokes are appearing in the 
finisheed publisher document. Is there a way to prevent this? Has anyone else 
seen this? 

thanks
Bob

RE: user keystrokes interpretted by publisher   

For anyone interested we worked around this problem by using 

Template.ActiveWindow.WindowState = pbWindowStateMinimize;
