Hi, i was wondering if there's an .dll file that can return the active program running (Or the .exe file which is running).
So, for instance, if I'm busy working with notepad (mIRC running on background) and something in mirc is triggered, that the dll returns 'Notepad' or 'Notepad.exe'
If it doesn't exist, can anyone with much spare time create one? I'd really appriciate (I would do it myself, except i don't know n e thing bout such things).

I'm sure it's very possible .. but I've lost my MSDN help files and I'm too lazy to search msdn online.
I'm also pretty sure Necroman (or someone else if he doesn't before hand) will post a reply to how to make it. ;-)

You can call the GetForegroundWindow() function, which will return the handle to the window the user is working with. You can get certain information from its title using GetWindowText().
Next thing, you can call GetWindowLong() specifying GWL_HINSTANCE to obtain the handle to the application that created the window. GetModuleFileName() obtains the name of the executable.
Sincerely,
Necroman, #mIRC @ Undernet

For such a task that's highly unlikely to be needed by multiple people I doubt you'll find one. Your best bet is to learn C/C++/Delphi and make your own DLL to do it.

If you could give some more informations on the DLL you want (if there is some specific command, names, retrun text, style , function, stuff like that) I could do it for you, it don't seem to be an hard thing...

uhmmm if I am correct about what you are trying to do:
mIRC has an identifyer to check if it's the active application... so you don't need a dll
search the /help for it!
If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

?
on 1:APPACTIVE:echo mIRC active status: $appactive
The above event triggers whenever mIRC's active status has changed. The $appactive identifier returns $true if mIRC is active, or $false if it isn't.
?
If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

That's true, although the person who wrote this post wanted to know the name of the active application, which can't be retrieved using a mIRC command.
