Hi Vineeth,

You can do this by handling WM_ACTIVATE message, it will give you the current application state[ Active or Inactive]. You can find more explanation from this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646274(v=vs.85).aspx[^]

Note:
If you are new to MFC, it is better to use MFC Class Wizard to add event handler for WM_ACTIVATE. If you had experience in MFC, please ignore this note.
