GetForegroundWindow doesn't work on xp

[Carlos]

I can not get

[ DllImport("user32.dll") ]
public static extern IntPtr GetForegroundWindow();

to work on windows xp, I always get null. It works fine on vista, I
just don't know why xp is failing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Carlos,

Can you provide an example? The declaration looks fine, so it probably
has something to do with where you are calling it.

There is a lot of code involved with this, I'll see if I can make a
small example. I did forget to mention one more thing, I am working on
a taskbar replacement, is there a chance it has to do with that?
