Determine if current application is activated (has focus)

Question

Note: There\'s a very similar question, but it\'s WPF-specific; this one is not.

How can I determine if the current application is activ

Answer 1

First get the handle either using:

IntPtr myWindowHandle;

myWindowHandle = new WindowInteropHelper(Application.Current.MainWindow).Handle;

or

HwndSource source = (HwndSource)HwndSource.FromVisual(this);
myWindowHandle = source.Handle;

Then compare whethers it is the ForeGroundWindow:

if (myWindowHandle == GetForegroundWindow()) 
{
  // Do stuff!

}

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr GetForegroundWindow();
