Why does Process.MainWindowTitle sometimes don't work ?

[Timo von Niswandt]

Hello,

I want to get informations about the title of processes on remote machines. On some machines (Win2000) the Method Process.GetProcesses() does return informations about running processes, but on some machines (WinNT) I get an exception.

Furthermore the Method process.MainWindowTitle() does not return informations for remote processes.

Here comes my code:

Process process = null;
foreach(Process proc in Process.GetProcesses("L1332020")){
MessageBox.Show(proc.ProcessName.ToString());
if(proc.MainWindowTitle.ToString().StartsWith("SessionB")){
process = proc;
break;
}
}

if(process==null)
MessageBox.Show("No suitable Process found!");
else{
DKC_DllImport.BringWindowToTop (process.MainWindowHandle);
DKC_DllImport.ShowWindow(process.MainWindowHandle, 9); //9 = SW_RESTORE
}

Does anybody have a solution for this problem that works ?

Thanks, Timo
