$WM_ACTIVATE will fire off when the window gets activated (focused). You'll get $wParam set to 1 or 2 when the window gets activated or clicked on, and 0 when you lose focus on the window.

This is a piece of code that will show you it in action, it's a stripped down version of the GUIRegisterMsg demo linked in my signature.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Global $msg
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_ACTIVATE, "WM_ACTIVATE")
$GUI = GUICreate("Test GUI", 200, 200, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_THICKFRAME, $gui_ss_default_gui, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX))
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 20, 20)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Another Test ", 20, 100)
$Slider = GUICtrlCreateSlider(20, 60, 150)
$hSlider = GUICtrlGetHandle($Slider)
$hCheck = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("test", 20, 150)
$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 20, 170, 180)
$hEdit = GUICtrlGetHandle($Edit)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $hEdit = ' & $hEdit & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $Button
            MsgBox(0, "", "You pressed the button marked TEST")
        Case $Button2
            MsgBox(0, "", "You pressed the button marked 'Another Test'")
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd
Func WM_ACTIVATE($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local $nNotifyCode = BitShift($wParam, 16)
    Local $nID = BitAND($wParam, 0x0000FFFF)
    Local $hCtrl = $lParam
    #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $WM_ACTIVATE
            Switch $wParam
                Case 1, 2
                    ConsoleWrite("!Window Activated" & @CRLF)
                Case 0
                    ConsoleWrite("!Window Deactivated" & @CRLF)
                Case Else
                    MsgBox(0, "WM_ACTIVATE ", "GUIHWnd" & @TAB & ":" & $hWnd & @LF & _
                            "MsgID" & @TAB & ":" & $msg & @LF & _
                            "wParam" & @TAB & ":" & $wParam & @LF & _
                            "lParam" & @TAB & ":" & $lParam & @LF & @LF & _
                            "MY_WM_SYSCOMMAND - Infos:" & @LF & _
                            "-----------------------------" & @LF & _
                            "Code" & @TAB & ":" & $nNotifyCode & @LF & _
                            "CtrlID" & @TAB & ":" & $nID & @LF & _
                            "CtrlHWnd" & @TAB & ":" & $hCtrl)
            EndSwitch

    EndSwitch
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc   ;==>WM_ACTIVATE

MSDN

Search for the windows message on Google to find the relevant information. The MSDN site is nearly always the first one listed.

It always show how to use it, not a list what it returns. Probably I'm stupid, but can't find a good one :)

Found it, however it's much different than I expected :)

Just if anyone needs it later here's the current link:

Really? Because when I searched for WM_ACTIVATE I found this link on MSDN which says exactly what the wParam values will be, which is what I used in the demo above.

I'm sure there's such a list out there, I just haven't run across one yet. I agree, it would be nice to know which one to use, rather than having to make a generic search for what you're hoping to find.
