Anoying extra mouseclick to activate Word Application's control

I use word automation in my VB6 application.
Set AppWord = createobject("Word.Application")
When focus is on my VB form and i want to activate the open word document, i can click on the word document, but when i directly click on a textboxshape it's not possible to directly select it, only the document is activated and nothing is selected.
The same thing hapens when you want to directly select a picture. So you always have to give an extra mouseclick , one to activate the word application, and one the select the control, not very userfriendly. Can i solve this?

Maybe i make this approach to difficult (hum sometimes do that)...
I allready tried catching the mouseclick when leftclik in the word document, and while waiting (at least half a second because word doesn't else seems ready to kope with the original mouseclick) after mouseclick, i generate a second mouseclick at the exact same place, and this works, the control gets selected in one click! But you can imagine, that's a long wait and mutch clicks or mousemoves can be done in half a second, so not very relyable.And allso how can i check if the user clicks on the word document, because i only can check if the user clicks on the word window in general bij checking it's classname. If i can solve this last problem maybe i have the solution, because while waiting i can block any mouseevents so it gets more relyable
