Rene,
Yes there are API's that'd let you check the windows (GetFocus(), FindWindow(), GetForegroundWindo() and so on).
However there might be an easier way. You're doing kind of unattended routine. After [enter] if messagebox is not displayed then another control should get the focus. You might utilize this and check :

if type('_screen.activeform.activecontrol') = 'O'

PS: Forget it. Use GetFocus() API instead.
