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.

Usage (V1)

V1 has been replaced by V2. If you're still using 1.2.0 or older, please take a look here for instructions.

Usage (V2)

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 Narod.FullscreenDetection

• Create instance of FullscreenDetecter

Dim FullscreenDetectClient As New FullscreenDetector

• Call with the DetectFullscreenApplication function.

FullscreenDetectClient.DetectFullscreenApplication()

• Get output

Dim hasDetectedFullscreenApplication as Boolean = FullscreenDetectClient.GetHasDetected()
Dim programNameDetected As String = FullscreenDetectClient.GetProgramDetected() // throws nullreferenceexception if GetHasDetected is False
Dim processIDDetected As UInteger = FullscreenDetectClient.GetProcessIDDetected() // throws nullreferenceexception if GetHasDetected is False

Further Help

I'll release a video at some point detailing how to use V2. My current video is for V1 which is significantly different, so those instructions won't work.

Helping

If you find any bugs, please report it as an issue.
