  • Bjalle

    so will you share one method of doing this..

  • VisionSolutions

    Check the following article about how to set hooks, you can hook the WH_SHELL and just filter out the message you want. As cablehead says, for you it would be WM_ACTIVATE.

    Windows Hooks in the .NET Framework.

    You want to know when the foreground windows changes What do you main, do you main a other window got focus


  • Bret Pehrson

    Oke, i understand that point. Why do you need it, because there are a lot of ways to do this.


  • MSzinger

    You can use the GetForegroundWindow to get the handle of the window wich the user is currently working in.

    If you check this with an interval, you can react on changes.

    Check into WH_SHELL ...hook.

    WM_ACTIVATE.
