The GetWindowThreadProcessId() API can help.

This came up recently here and I can't remember how to get the name from the process ID.

I think you need to enumerate the processes on the system and find the one that matches the ID.

A couple ways to enumerate processes:
CreateToolhelp32Snapshot()/Process32First()/Process32Next()
Use WMI and the Win32_Process class

It should be possible as it's the very same thing Task Manager does.


I'm not sure why task manager would use window handles to find processes when there's many
methods available for enumerating processes and task manager also shows processes that don't
have any windows.  I'd guess that task manager uses WMI.
