yvesh / active-windows Goto Github PK

I just tried it out on Windows 10, and got this error right away. Any idea?

I'm using electron 8.2.1.

getActiveWindow() opens a handle to the process but doesn't close it.

Question:

Would it be possible to have a binding/function for hooking shell messages?

What is it useful for?

That allows us to know when a new windows is created, changes state or is removed.
That would allow for some awesome new integrations and utilities (in my case, i'm making a windows taskbar replacement with only webtech)

Here's one example in AHK for reference:

DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt,hWnd )
MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str,"SHELLHOOK" )
OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )
Return

ShellMessage( wParam,lParam ) {
  Local k
  If ( wParam = 1 ) ;  HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED
     {
      ; A new window was created.
      ; Diferent callbacks could be called for different events, or a single one with the event enum as argument.
     }
}

Running this on my mac I get current data on any active window

  os: 'macos',
  windowClass: 'wm_class',
  windowName: 'wm_name',
  windowDesktop: 't',
  windowType: 'd',
  windowPid: 'b'

When I install this module on linux, the build fails.
