determining active x window

tcorreia · 08-19-2004, 05:18 PM

I am trying to write some code to determine the active x window and was wondering if there is any easy way to do this. I tried using xwinifo and xev but I can't figure out a slick way to determine the current active x window. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim

This should work:

Code:

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
main()
{
        Window focus;
        int revert;
        Display *display=XOpenDisplay((char*)0);
        if(display)
        {
                XGetInputFocus(display, &focus, &revert);
                printf("window 0x%x has the focus\n", focus);
        }
}
