--GetActiveWindow
The GetActiveWindow function retrieves the window handle to the active window associated with the calling thread's message queue.
--HWND GetActiveWindow(VOID)
--GetForegroundWindow
The GetForegroundWindow function returns a handle to the foreground window (the window with which the user is currently working). The system assigns a slightly higher priority to the thread that creates the foreground window than it does to other threads.
--HWND GetForegroundWindow(VOID)
