How to get process's name which triggered mouse click #43

Open chungvinhkhang opened 9 years ago

chungvinhkhang commented 9 years ago

Hi, Is there param that contains process (id or name) which triggered the events (click, key,..)?

gmamaladze commented 9 years ago

No but you can get a name of a process with active window somewhere else. e.G.

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr GetWindowThreadProcessId(IntPtr hWnd, out uint ProcessId);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr GetForegroundWindow();

string GetActiveProcessFileName()
{
    IntPtr hwnd = GetForegroundWindow();
    uint pid;
    GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, out pid);
    Process p = Process.GetProcessById((int)pid);
    p.MainModule.FileName.Dump();
}

@chungvinhkhang did you ever find a way to get the id or name of the process that triggered the event?
