AppKit views don’t have a native active/inactive status like carbon HIToolbox controls.

For views which alter their appearance based on whether or not they are first responder, or in a key/main window, you must track this state yourself.

You can use viewWill/DidMoveToWindow to stop observing notifications on your preview window (if any) and start observing notifications on your new container window (if any), not for the tracking of the “active” state itself.
