my project is to popup a error window when even there is error in running WPF exe's.so i have used UIAutomationverify and there is a timer running for every 10 seconds interval to check for error window.but this logic will work for only one application at a time and i want this to work for multiple application.is there any way to make this logic work ?

the reason i used this wierd approach is because there is no event log for the WPF exe's running.I know it's stupidity but i have no other option and very less time.

We have to use the Pinvoke GetForegroundWindow method.

IntPtr hwnd = GetForegroundWindow();
            uint pid;
            GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, out pid);
            Process proc = Process.GetProcessById((int)pid);

once we get the processid only for that process i need to run automation element to find error window.and this method for finding active window run every 5 minutes via timer so that if my active window(Process) changes it will work(find error window) for that process.
