VB/WinAPI, How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit)

How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit)

Author	Message
Dave Ranza #1 / 4	How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit) I'm looking for a way to detect if a non-shelled application is running, and if so, give focus to it. In the 16-bit world I used GetModuleHandle ("notepad.exe"), which doesn't work in 32-bit. I won't know what the window caption/title will be, only the EXE name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave Ranza #3 / 4	How to detect (by EXE name) if a non-shelled process is running (32-bit) Thanks Greg. Is there anyway to do this within VB (rather than C, which the language the KB article uses). Or is there an API call to get the EXE name if the hWnd is known?
