B4J Question Get the active window

[JakeBullet70]

Hi all.

How do I get the active window? I have an app running in the background and I want to get the foreground applications handle. Is it a Windows API thing?

Thanks?

OK, just remembered you cannot use the Windows API from b4j. Any other ideas?

What do you want to do with the handle?

Assuming that you only target Windows then you can write a small .Net program that will find the current active window.

Basically I want to Get the clipboard full of b4x text, do something with it and the re-insert it back in b4x.

So.
1. Select text in b4x and copy to clipboard.
2. Hot key to run my b4j program and re-format text.
3. Re-insert it back into the clip board.
4. Activate b4x
5. Send a CTRL-V and it will paste back in.

I have worked with the Win 32 API in VB6 and have done things like this before and yes, Windows only.
I will look at the stack overflow

The B4J program can be a non-ui program. The focus will stay in the IDE.
