I want particular functionality to be used for worksheet having name Data.

I can check if Data sheet exists or not using following code

Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Wb.Sheets("Data")
If ws Is Nothing Then

Else

But how to check if Data sheet is an active sheet or not ?
is there any thing like

If ws Is Activesheet Then

UPDATE:

I have added following code in the one of the Class module of addin.

What i am trying to do is to manage other excel sheets from this addin. I want to call procedure paste_cells if the the active sheet is having name “Data”.

Public WithEvents App As Application

Private Sub App_WorkbookActivate(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
MsgBox "Activate"

Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Wb.Sheets("Data")

If ws Is ActiveSheet Then  ' if active sheet is having name Data
App.OnKey "^v", Procedure:="Paste_cell" 'paste cell is procedure i want to add when active sheet is Data
Else
App.OnKey "^v"
End If

End Sub

    you should

    1. use error handling as the sheet may not exist
    2. For an addin you would normally use ActiveWorkbook,ie

       Dim ws As Worksheet
       On Error Resume Next
       Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
       On Error GoTo 0
       If ws Is Nothing Then
           MsgBox "Data sheet not found"
       Else
           If ws.Name = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Name Then
               MsgBox "Data sheet found and is active"
           Else
               MsgBox "Data sheet found but is inactive"
           End If
       End If
