Description
Testable in FieldWorks (LT-21465).
- Compile SIL.Windows.Forms.TestApp for x64 (or include the ImageToolboxControl in some other x64 app)
- Open the Image Toolbox and click Scanner
- Click a window other than the Scanner dlg
Expected: the Scanner dlg flashes and is focused
Actual: the Scanner dlg disappears behind all other windows
This is not a problem in Any CPU or x86 apps using the x86 Interop.WIA.dll. It may be a problem with the MSIL Interop.WIA.dll

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by compiling SIL.Windows.Forms.TestApp for x64, opening the Image Toolbox, and clicking Scanner. Start by inspecting ImageToolboxControl and the Scanner dialog behavior around the MSIL Interop.WIA.dll, comparing it with x86 and Any CPU builds. Done means the Scanner dialog remains in front and regains focus when another window is clicked in x64 apps.
