You know how in windows only one window can be selected? How can I let my program detect that it''s currently not selected (and should pause)? Is there a way to do this platform independent? If not, I''m satisfied with how to do it in windows (it''ll be the first platform dependent part in my code though

Check out WM_ACTIVATE. Or GetTopWindow() if you dont like that approach.
