WPF active windows

[imbirek8]

Hi,

I would like to write aplication in WPF, and I would like to list all opened
windows in the system, get the headers of the windows and get the active
window. How to do it ?
Is any event, that I can handle, with tell me, that active window is changed
?

Thanks for help

You can enumerate the windows of an application using the property named
Windows of an Application instance object:

But I would like to enumerate windows from the system, like firefox,
thinderbird, VisualStudio etc.

I don't think .NET includes that functionality. You'll have to use the
unmanaged Windows API via p/invoke.

See functions like EnumWindows(), GetWindow(), and FindWindow().
