How to get running applications number?

[juvi]

hello,

Is it possible to count not the running processes, but the running
applications? (e.g. like File Explorer, Word, => 2??)

thx

It's pretty much process = application. What exactly do you mean
distinguishes "application" from "process"? It's pretty obvious that you
should be telling us what version of what operating system you're using,
since you should ALWAYS do that...

I mean like in the task manager of windows mobile 6.1

There you can filter your view by "application" or by "processes"...
I do not want the see the processes (like shell32.exe) I only want to get
the number of running applications (like in this task manager)

thx

What the task manager is showing is the list of top-level window titles. I
don't know, off-hand, how to do that, other than with P/Invoke in .NET CF,
but you'd use EnumWindows() in native code.
