How to get running applications number?   

hello,

Is it possible to count not the running processes, but the running 
applications? (e.g. like File Explorer, Word, => 2??)

thx

It's pretty much process = application.  What exactly do you mean 
distinguishes "application" from "process"?  It's pretty obvious that you 
should be telling us what version of what operating system you're using, 
since you should ALWAYS do that...

Re: How to get running applications number?   

I mean like in the task manager of windows mobile 6.1

There you can filter your view by "application" or by "processes"...
I do not want the see the processes (like shell32.exe) I only want to get 
the number of running applications (like in this task manager)

thx

Re: How to get running applications number?   

What the task manager is showing is the list of top-level window titles.  I 
don't know, off-hand, how to do that, other than with P/Invoke in .NET CF, 
but you'd use EnumWindows() in native code.
