      HWND hwnd = ::GetForegroundWindow(); // if by "current window" you mean the foreground window
      ASSERT(hwnd != NULL);
      TCHAR szClass[256] = _T("");
      ::GetClassName(hwnd, szClass, 255);
      if (_tcsicmp(szClass, _T("ConsoleWindowClass")) == 0)
      {
      // This is a console window
      }
      else
      {
      // This is not a console window
      }

      I did not compile above code, but you should have got the main idea.
