Determine if a window on top is active or not

(1/4) > >>

Contro:
I would like to know what is written in the windows registry or any other place to determine when and what window is on top of all the other ones.


Best Regards

Nothing is written to the registry to indicate if a window is on top or not.  It's what is called a window "style" or "property" and, again, it has nothing to do with the registry.

skwire:
Here's a short script that demonstrates how to find out if the active window is set for Always on Top.


--- Code: Autohotkey ---#1:: ; Win+1, change as necessary.{    WinGet, myStyle, ExStyle, A    If ( myStyle & 0x8 ) ; 0x8 is WS_EX_TOPMOST.    {        MsgBox, This window is set for Always on Top    }}Return
