Bring selected Tab in IE window to front

[Vincent88]

I found this code workable for my excel project and I put it in my module1. However I need help to add code to bring the IE to forefront.

Option Explicit

#If VBA7 Then
 Private Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As LongPtr)
#Else
 Private Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
#End If

Public Sub Test_IE_UIAutomation()

 Dim IE As InternetExplorer
 
 Set IE = Find_and_Activate_IE_Tab_By_URL("*cnn*")
 If Not IE Is Nothing Then
 Debug.Print "Activated IE tab"
 Debug.Print "LocationURL = "; IE.LocationURL
 Debug.Print "LocationName = "; IE.LocationName
 
 Else
 Debug.Print "Not activated IE tab"
 End If
 
End Sub


Private Function Find_and_Activate_IE_Tab_By_URL(findUrlLike As String) As InternetExplorer

 'If found, activate that IE tab and return it as an InternetExplorer object. Otherwise return Nothing.
 'Works with multiple IE windows

 If Not IE Is Nothing Then

 If LCase(IE.LocationURL) Like LCase(findUrlLike) Then
 'Found a tab or window which matches the specified URL, now activate it
 tabURL = UIAutomation_Click_IE_Tab_By_URL(IE.Hwnd, findUrlLike)
