Hey,
I saw in main.lua
the following line

Code:

getForegroundProcess()

Its pretty awesome Smile

Smile

...
I want to use it..
So I wrote this

Code:

function CEButton1Click(sender)
local proc=getForegroundProcess()
openProcess(proc)
end

createHotkey(CEButton1Click, VK_1)

Its working great.
But the thing is, I try to attach with google chrome.
And its attaching to the main processor (browser itself).
And I want to attach to the flash player..

I don't want to attach by getting processor ID.
But I do got a suggestion, can we attach to the processor that is being focused?
(In browser if you focused in a flash, ctrl+w won't shut down the tab, f11 won't go to full screen mode.. etc.)
It'll be pretty useful for me.
Thanks for reading.

EDIT:
I've got an alternative way.. by going to full screen mode in flashplayer, but the thing is that NOT all games let you go to fullscreen.

getForegroundProcess will only get the parent process that is focused. The control inside the browser is seen as a child and in most cases is not its own parent so 'getForegroundProcess' will not see it. It is simply a wrapper around GetForegroundWindow so it does not do anything special to obtain the foreground process. _________________ - Retired.
