Hello,

I'm trying to get the "EXE" name of app that runs the current
window. To get the current window I use:

[ DllImport("user32.dll") ]
private static extern
int GetForegroundWindow();


const int nChars = 256;
int handle = 0;
StringBuilder Buff = new StringBuilder(nChars);

handle = GetForegroundWindow();
GetWindowText(handle, Buff, nChars)

return Buff.toString(); // Returns the title of
// current window


If this funcion returns "MSN Hotmail", for example, I want to get
"iexplorer.exe", indicating that the current window is "ieplorer.exe".

Thanks,

Regis

Have you tried looking through the Modules property of the result of
Process.GetCurrentProcess()?
