Sorry? Do want to try that again, only this time using sentences that describe what you are trying to achieve?

Does the control under the mouse belong to the running process?

I need more information to answer this, but here's how one would get the handle of a control that has been clicked.

var clickMe = new Panel();
parent.Controls.Add(clickMe);
clickMe.MouseClick += (sender, e) => MessageBox.Show("The control's handle is " + (sender as Control).Handle);
