OpenGL only deals with drawing stuff. Terms like "Window" "Active" or "Focused" are completely outside the scope of OpenGL. You need to consult your windowing system's functions for this (Win32, X11, or functions provided by a cross-plattform toolkit)

You can not do it from the opengl, because only the window manager knows which window is active. The best you can do, is you activate it yourself (for example, in glut it is done with glutSetWindow)
