[lvramanan]

Hi Guys,

Use GetForeGroundWindow API.

Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    If GetForegroundWindow = MyForm.hWnd Then
        'your form is active
    Else
        'your form is not active
    End If
End Sub

You can either subclass it or set a local hook to track the activation of your window. If you need an example, I can try to post one for you.
