How can I check to see if a form is active?

If you want to see if a form is visible, just check the visible flag

If Form1.Visible Then Do Whatever

if you want to see if the form is loaded just do a..

If Not Form1 Is Nothing Then Do Whatever

something like this :

Dim frm2 As New Form2()
If frm2.Visible = True Then
MsgBox("Form 2 is Visible")
Else
MsgBox("Form 2 is not Visible")
End If

This is what is in my program right now:

    Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Changed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Changed
        Dim frm1 As New Form1()
        If frm1.Visible = False Then
            frm1.Visible = True
        End If
End Sub

When the filesystemwatcher is invoked more than one time I still end up with a bunch of forms.
