    hWnd = GetForegroundWindow();
    RECT appBounds;
    RECT rc;
    GetWindowRect(GetDesktopWindow(), &rc);
    

    Then check if that windows isn’t desktop or shell.
    Simple if instruction.

    if(hWnd =! GetDesktopWindow() && hWnd != GetShellWindow())
    {
        GetWindowRect(hWnd, &appBounds);
        // Now you just have to compare rc to appBounds
    }
    

    This is written without testing.
