Returning application name from hWnd handle.Hi
I am trying to find the application from a hWnd handle. ie. if the hWnd is to Internet explorer, I want to try to return iexplore.exe (as per processes in Task Manager), or some other indicator that its IE. Can anyone help?

'System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses' and compare the handle to the 'Process' objects' 'MainWindowHandle' property value. -- M S Herfried K.

I just found this, literally about 30 minutes ago, and got it working. Thanks Show quote "Herfried K.
