You should use the IMxDocument.ActiveView Property.

You can use something like this:

IMxDocument mxDoc=(IMxDocument)m_app.Document;
mxDoc.ActiveView = mxDoc.FocusMap ; //if you want to cast to the focused map

@IbrahimSwaiss I'm not sure why, but activating the View is causing the problem. Just use the first two lines. It is working on my system. – Devdatta Tengshe Dec 10 '12 at 9:09
Yes it's now working, and you can use Deactivate() after the activate line, and thank you again for your help :) – Ibrahim Swaiss Dec 10 '12 at 9:17

The docs state that you do not need to call Activate() inside ArcMap, it will take care of that automatically. You only need to call Activate in certain situations when working with MapDocument class. – Petr Krebs Dec 10 '12 at 9:24
