Hi
Does anyone have any code which can be used to find the current application
which has focus?

I want to try to retrieve the application name, or process name from the app
which has current focus.


Thanks
 
Hello Paul,

Use API GetForegroundWindow() function
http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32/GetForegroundWindow.html

Paul,

There is no managed solution for that. You need to call GetForegroundWindow
API for example.
