Running ApplicationsIs there a way using .Net to determine which applications are currently
running? For example, in Windows, if you press Alt-Tab, you will see a list of applications currently running. I have looked at process.getprocesses, but that returns all running processes instead of just applications. I would like to fill a listbox with a list of applications (not processes) that are currently running. Thanks. >Is there a way using .Net to determine which applications are currently I'm not sure what yoru definition of "application" is, but I believe>running?

Thanks. the Alt-Tab window is populated with top-level windows returned by the EnumWindows Win32 API.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I have been searching the
Internet for sample code that uses VB .Net 2005 and the EnumWindows Win32 API. If anyone has any code that shows this, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Unfortunately the signature it has for EnumWindows is incorrect. The second parameter should be an IntPtr.
