You mean, like this?
=============================================
void CMainFrame::OnActivate(UINT nState, CWnd* pWndOther, BOOL 
bMinimized) 
{
/*__*/CCJMDIFrameWnd::OnActivate(nState, pWndOther, bMinimized);
/*__*/
/*__*/CWincvsApp* pApp = (CWincvsApp*)AfxGetApp();
/*__*/ASSERT(pApp);
/*__*/CWnd* pActive = GetActiveWindow();
/*__*/LONG style = ::GetWindowLong(pActive->GetSafeHwnd(), GWL_STYLE);
/*__*/CMDIChildWnd* pMaybeFView = MDIGetActive();
/*__*/if( ( (style & DS_MODALFRAME) || pMaybeFView->GetSafeHwnd() == 
pApp->GetFileView()->GetSafeHwnd() ||
/*______*/... // pApp->SetBackgroundProcess(true or false);
=============================================

Using WM_ACTIVATE handler is good for me, too, and also
WM_TIMER is uncomfortable for me. But individually,
I prefer ignoring completely...because modal is modal.
Assuming people who are just writting commit logs,
are they interest in file changes?

Though I have no experience using ReadDirectoryChangesW,
if we can detect more details of changes when using it,
it sounds ideal.

I see. It is important to make it not buried.
