VB 2005 and windows form application

I am having difficulty putting my question into words but..

Is there a way to determine whether my win form application has focus
or it is active or being used?
 
I think I should have give some more information

I want to refresh my application's underlying datasources (DataSet and
Object Collection) periodically
to reflect underlying database changes.

I have put a timer on the form which will call a sub procedure to
update the application's underlying datasources. I just want to make
sure that if the current application is being used just skip the call
to subprocedrue to update datasources.
 
Try (VB 2005)
System.Windows.Forms.Application.OpenForms

It will give me whether the form is open or not?

I want to know whether you have focus on the form (by mouse or
keyboard).
