Is there Windows system event on active window changed?

by

Yes, you can use SetWinEventHook function. 

hEvent = SetWinEventHook(EVENT_SYSTEM_FOREGROUND , 
    EVENT_SYSTEM_FOREGROUND , NULL, 
    WinEventProcCallback, 0, 0, 
    WINEVENT_OUTOFCONTEXT | WINEVENT_SKIPOWNPROCESS);

.......

VOID CALLBACK WinEventProcCallback ( HWINEVENTHOOK hWinEventHook, DWORD dwEvent, HWND hwnd, LONG idObject, LONG idChild, DWORD dwEventThread, DWORD dwmsEventTime)
{
    /* your code here */
}
