Duh, so the question wasn't about getting at the desktop ... `GetFocus( GetForegroundWindow() )` [download] works for me, but, Wx will give you hwnd if you use `$window->GetHandle()`. On a related note, see How to Retrieve another Process' Window Title?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That's not entirely true. I've seen at least two poorly written programs, in which a modal dialog box ends up with the focus, but is behind another window. You can't move the obscuring window because the dialog has to be dealt with first, and you can't complete the dialog because the window is in the way...	[reply]
