[Mono-winforms-list] Find out if the application window is focused/active

[Stifu]

Me again, for the same problem.

this.ActiveControl.Focused worked fine back when I had all of my controls in
the same MainForm class.
Now I made my own UserControl which is added to my MainForm.
Like before, I need to know if the application window is focused, but this
time I have to do it from the UserControl rather than from the MainForm, and
I can't manage to do it.

this.ActiveControl.Focused doesn't work, because this.ActiveControl is null
in the UserControl.
So I tried this.ParentForm.ActiveControl.Focused, which only works until I
focus another control in the UserControl, then it always returns false. (I
also tried (this.ParentForm as MainForm).ActiveControl.Focused, but no
difference)

Any idea?

Thanks!
