Setting for Form Focus

Question

What is the method for when a form comes into focus? I have a window open and then the user can open multiple other windows and do things but once the original form comes into focus I want some code to run. I cannot find a .Focus or .GetFocus for an entire Form Window. what am i missing?

Here you are private void Form1_Activated(object sender EventArgs e) { label1.Text=(Active); } private void Form1_Deactivate(object sender EventArgs e) { label1.Text = (Not active); }
