    dte.ItemOperations.NewFile(@"General\Text File", "Document2",   
        Constants.vsViewKindPrimary);  

    MessageBox.Show("The active window is " +   
        dte.ActiveWindow.Caption);  

    if (MessageBox.Show("Activate Document1?", "",   
        MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)  
        doc1.Activate();  

    MessageBox.Show("The active window is " +   
        dte.ActiveWindow.Caption);  
}  

Remarks

ActiveWindow returns the environment's active window.

You can set the caption only on Tool windows. If you attempt to set the caption on other window types, such as Document windows, you get the error, "Unspecified error."
