Determine if the program is an active window in .NET.

Question

I have a C # /. NET application and I want to implement the following behavior:

I have a popup menu. Whenever a user clicks on something in an application that is not a popup menu, I want the popup menu to close.

However, whenever the user is not in the application, I do not want something to happen.

I am trying to control this through the LostFocus event, but I am having problems determining if my application is an active window. The code looks something like this.

    private void Button_LostFocus(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        if (InActiveWindow()) {
           CloseMenu()
        }
        else {
           // not in active window, do nothing
        }
    }

I need to know how to implement the InActiveWindow () method.
