C# get information about current active window
c#, process, window
Solution
I think you want "GetWindowModuleFileName()" instead of GetWindowText You pass in the hwnd, so you'll still need the call to GetForegroundWindow()
Problem
I have an application which i want to run in the background. I want to get the executable name, for an example IExplorer.exe. I have played around with the following code: ``` [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern IntPtr GetForegroundWindow(); [DllImport("user32.dll")] private static extern int GetWindowText(IntPtr hWnd, StringBuilder text, int count); public static void Main() { int chars = 256; StringBuilder buff = new StringBuilder(chars); while (true) { // Obtain the handle of the active window. IntPtr handle = GetForegroundWindow(); // Update the controls. if (GetWindowText(handle, buff, chars) > 0) { Console.WriteLine(buff.ToString()); Console.WriteLine(handle.ToString()); } Thread.Sleep(1000); } } ``` That only gets me the Window title, and the handle ID. I want to get the executable name (and maybe more information). How do i achieve that?
