    Hi, I have a MDI application and I want to get the child form which is currently in focus/on top/being used. I've tried using logic like this to loop through all the MDIChildren: array^ children = this->MdiChildren; for each (System::Windows::Forms::Form^ form in children){ if(form->TopMost){ System::Windows::Forms::MessageBox::Show(form->Text->ToString()); } } but it doesn't work.

      I guess you should access the form's Active proprety

        What you're looking for is the ActiveMdiChild[^] property of your MDI parent form.
