How do I get a list of the applications in the taskbar?
I wrote a little piece of code in Delphi that retrieves me the list of all the windows running at a time (using EnumWindows).
The problem I have is that seems to list about every little window running, even those inside the applications.
I think I should go other route, since this EnumWindows gets windows, not applications running.
What should I use else?

Do you want to get all the processes like the task manager processes tab? If so: http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/torry/showcode.php?id=616

Nope, I want the applications in the task bar.

Great!, The "IsWindowVisible" is what I was looking for.
That did it!! Thank you very much.
Can I ask something more...... how do I get which is the Active window?
I see that in the list of applications filled by EnumWindows the first one seems to be the active one, but I'm not sure if this if I can take this as granted.
Easy too, just use GetForegroundWindow and then Get the Text from this handle
function ActiveWindow:string;
var
Handle: THandle;
Len: LongInt;
Title: string;
begin
Handle := GetForegroundWindow;
Len := GetWindowTextLength(Handle) + 1;
SetLength(Title, Len);
GetWindowText(Handle, PChar(Title), Len);
ActiveWindow := Trim(Title);
end;
