How to detect when player is in dialogue?

[egordiac]

I am coding a different menu for my game, which activates when pressing escape, but I realized, that you could open the menu when in dialogue. How do I detect when I'm talking to someone? The default menu somehow accomplishes this, but I couldn't find the code for it.

$gameMessage.isBusy() will return true if a text box is active
