Is there a way to check with windows in c# whether the current application
is in focus and taking input? I've tried checking the focused property on
the main form, but this doesn't seem to work.

Thanks

A form has focus, not an application.  You could check if any form in the
application has focus.  You would do such by looping over forms in your app
and checking the Focused proprerty.   You would do something like this:

           bool flag = false;
           foreach (Form f in Application.OpenForms)
           {
               flag = flag | f.Focused;
           }

I hope this helps.
