Cannot get your idea. I already have a internal version which uses the handle from GetWindowHandle.

internal static bool IsForegroundWindow(HWND handle)
{
    return handle.Equals(PInvoke.GetForegroundWindow());
}

Since HWND is an internal class, we cannot use that internal class in public function

huh? You can. Just do IsForegroundWindow(GetWindowHandle(window))

I think you misunderstand how the modifier works. It won't restrict which method it can call inside the body, but only whether other can call it.

sorry for my misunderstanding, now I use GetWindowHandle inside its function
