My application consists of basically a MDIForm. While it is running, is 
there a way of knowing if the application has focus or whether it has been 
transferred to another application such as NotePad for example.

All help appreciated

Application.Active does indeed report the correct state, but is there an 
event generated to notify me if this state has changed?
The FormDeactivate event does not get called when the focus switches from my 
application to Notepad.

Use a TApplicationEvents component.
