Win Form never gets focus?!?

Hi all,

In my winform application, I want to check on certain moments if my
winform has focus. If so, some code will be executed. I noticed
however, that the winform never gets the focus, even when it clearly
has focus. How is that possible? What setting could I've messed with
that causes my winform never to get focus, even when activated?

void Form1_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 // always returns 'False' in my project (when I test
 // in new project, it returns 'True' however!!)
 Console.WriteLine("ACTIVATED & " + "this.Focused = " +
this.Focused);
}

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Try checking:

 if (Form.ActiveForm.Equals (this))
    ...

instead of:

 if (this.Focused)
    ...
