get-window-by-name v2.0.0

Get Window by Name

Building

To compile the extension for the first time, run

$ npm i
$ npm run configure
$ npm run build

All subsequent builds only need npm run build

Compatibility

Currently, this only runs on Windows. Linux support is being considered. macOS support will probably never come, since I'm not even sure anything on macOS actually sets a window title (I'll happily add macOS support if someone proves me wrong).

Usage

Just require the module

const test = require('./NativeExtension.node');

and use the (only) getWindowText function

getWindowText([executableName]):

• executableName (optional): the name of the executable that you want the info for. Omitting this argument will return every process

• Returns an Array of processes that match the argument

process Object structure:

{
    processId: Number,
    processName: String,
    processTitle: String
}

Todo (pull requests welcome!)

• Add Linux support
• Fix tests
• Add automatic build server
