Information on which application has focus

[sosh]

Hi,

Bit of a newbie question, but is it possible from the .net framework,
to gather information on which application (managed or otherwise)
currently has GUI focus?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can get active window thru API call.

Public Declare Function GetActiveWindow Lib "user32" Alias "GetActiveWindow"
() As Long

Great, thanks. You don't happen to know the c# equivalent do you?

Public Declare Function GetActiveWindow Lib "user32" Alias
"GetActiveWindow" () As Long

Note that 'Long' is a 64-bit data type in .NET. Thus the return value
should be 'As IntPtr' and not 'As Long'. In addition to that you can drop
the alias in this case ;-).
