Setting for Form Focus

evan liewer

What is the method for when a form comes into focus? I have a window open, and then the user can open multiple other windows, and do things, but once the original form comes into focus I want some code to run. I cannot find a .Focus or .GetFocus for an entire Form Window. what am i missing?

Here you are
    private void Form1_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
          label1.Text=("Active");
        }

        private void Form1_Deactivate(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text = ("Not active");
        }

And now it becomes clear. I initially thought this should be it, and to test it I put a MessageBox there, but that constantly fired. Because everytime the messagebox closed the form activated again. Silly Me
