Detecting a fullscreen application

Hello everyone,

I have a small application I wrote that sits in the systray and pops open a
small window if an event occurs. Works fine, except when I'm playing games.
:) If I have a fullscreen application going, the popup will steal focus
almost randomly causing the game to minimize. This is extremely annoying. Is
there a way to detect if anything is running in fullscreen mode? That way I
can prevent the popup from opening if there is.

Thanks,
Frij
