I think if you simply want to find the active window, then you should should run the script as a function (within a common module) rather than in a timer (in a form) or at the very least disable the timer once you have found the active window.

The sample code you provided lives in the TIMER's event routine within the FORM.
This would also mean if you have several forms then they are all running concurrently.
And this is why your system is becoming unresponsive?

For what you want to do, I dont think the sendkeys is the problem, its probably the timer which runs every so often... (100 milliseconds i think you had it at).

If everyone tells you you shouldn't use sendkeys to do what you want, then more than likely they are right! After all so many people cannot be wrong?
Maybe you could use API functions to attain the results you want?
Im not sure but it cannot be too difficult for you to find the answer in the documentation on MSDN.

I have seen several posts on this websites forum which deal with finding the active window.
Maybe surfing through those threads/posts would give you a better resolution to your issue.
