Hmm. It seems to me that this is information that you have to ask the
OS for, not IDL. So, how about sending regular timer events to all
your draw windows-- then when the timer event is received, the
receiving draw widget executes the appropriate Win32 function (don't
ask me how-- I have no idea) and finds out from the OS whether it is
the current top window. Ugh.
