Hello, friends, I need to write an assembly (C#.net 2.0 class library) to monitor all applications currently running in a PC. Especially, I need to know which window is the top one, i.e., catch the event when a window becomes foreground window. Should I use WndProc() to catch related window messages? (I don't want to use timer). Any r...
I'm drawing a color selection button and I'm looking for a nice and simple formula to get a good text color (foreground) for a given background color in RGB. A simple try would be to just take the complement color but this will produce an odd looking button for colors like pure blue or pure red. Is there something well known that does...
I'm new to both WPF and MVVM. I searched for a good way to dynamically create menus in the MVVM partern and, not finding anything to my liking, rolled my own solution. It works, but for some reason the Foreground (text) color of the menus is sometimes (just sometimes) not correct. I was going to include a picture to demonstrate my pro...
I'm using the following code to get a handle of the topmost window: HWND hwnd; hwnd = GetForegroundWindow(); The problem with this is that it returns the top most system-wide. Is there any way to get the topmost ONLY from my own application? I want to get the top most window ONLY of my application. This means, that I need an API to ...
I've found that the font colour comes from the content (ie outside of the controltemplate) of a listbox or combobox. I'd like to have black text on white background when the items are unselected, and when selected would like black background with white text. unfortunately I've not been able to figure out how to change the text colour. I...
I have UserControls containing other controls. I want that if I set a Foreground color for the UserControl, all child controls automatically inherit it. I have the same problem with font style/size. Can I set these properties somehow to auto/inherit? Is this possible to set all subcontrols without a loop? ...
In my application (C', Windows Forms) I have got a telephone information screen: if there is an incoming phone call a window with additional information to the caller is shown. This window should open in foreground and should stay there even if the user is writing in another window (so the user still sees the information regarding the i...
Hi, i was wondering if someone can tell me what would be the best way to bring my application to the foreground if a mutex was not able to be created for a new instance. Eg - Application X is running but is in the background. I cant see it so i try to run another instance and because the mutex returns false the best thing to do is to br...
Hi all, I currently have an application that naturally gets pushed to the background when the home key is pressed. The activity losses focus but continues running in the background.

Hello! I would like to get the executable file´s path of the active foreground window. I already have the handler of the foreground window: [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern IntPtr GetForegroundWindow(); IntPtr handlerAppActual = GetForegroundWindow(); And i would like to get the path of it´s executable file, like a shortc...
Currently with swt, I sometimes want a program to arbitrarily come to the foreground (like an alarm clock might). Typically the following works (jruby): @shell.setMinimized(false) @shell.forceActive This brings the shell to the front if it was minimized. Creating a new shell at any time also brings the (new shell) to the front. So ...

I'm trying to put together a simple error reporting package. If my main program crashes, it saves a crashlog, then starts a reporter program. The reporter program asks the user if it can send the crash log to me, then does so. I'm using NSRunAlertPanel to create a basic message box. For some reason, that message box is showing up buried...
I'm trying to get a handle to the foreground window in C#/Net 2.0/WinForms by calling the native GetForegroundWindow WinAPI function, in my app's form's constructor. When I run the program directly from Windows Explorer or Total Commander, it correctly identifies the Windows Explorer or Total Commander window. However, if I create a sh...

For example, I'm using vim.exe 7.2 in a Windows Command Prompt. My Command Prompt has green text. When I start vim.exe, I can run the following command to change the text to red: :highlight Normal ct...
The Qt documentation for QWidget::activateWindow() states: On Windows, if you are calling this when the application is not currently the active one then it will not make it the active window. It will change the color of the taskbar entry to indicate that the window has changed in some way. This is because Microsoft does...
