Narod.FullscreenDetector 1.2.0

Narod's Game Detector

A .NET library written in VB.NET to detect full screen applications and games.

Summary

Searches for on-screen fullscreen windows on the currently focussed screen. Will return a List(Of Object).

Usage

Code examples in VB.NET

• Download the latest release from the releases tab, or find in the NuGet package manager (Narod.FullscreenDetector)
  • (Only required if downloaded from releases) Add a reference of the library in your project. (Project → Add Reference... → Browse → Browse...)
• Import in to your program

Imports FullScreenDetection

• Create instance of FullscreenDetecter

Dim FullscreenDetectClient as New FullscreenDetecter

• Call with either the DetectFullscreenApplication function, or DetectGameFullscreen.

Dim detectionappresponse As List(Of Object) = FullscreenDetectClient.DetectFullscreenApplication()
Dim detectiongameresponse As List(Of Object) = FullscreenDetectClient.DetectGameFullscreen()
Dim customappresponse As List(Of Object) = FullscreenDetectClient.DetectCustomFullscreen("(partial/complete)-window-title-of-application-here")

Both functions will return the a list of objects:

• Position 0 is a boolean, which will be True if it successfully detected something, or False if not.
• Position 1 is a string, with the window text of the program detected (if detected, otherwise no item added)
• Position 2 is a UInteger, with the process PID of the program detected (if detected, otherwise no item added)

DetectFullscreenApplication will return any full screen application. DetectGameFullscreen will filter out select programs that checks are in place for (e.g. web browsers).
