I'm trying to get the window that is currently on top in my
application, even if I'm currently working in another application.
Something like the P/Invoke call GetForegroundWindow(), but I want it
to operate only on my application's forms. I've also tried using
Application.OpenForms[], but I don't know how to tell which one is on
top of the others.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Cosmin

Probably you want is System.Windows.Forms.Form.ActiveForm. This form is not
necessarily the form that is 'on top' - see also the TopMost form property.
It is possible for a form to be topmost but not be the active form.
