How to get a process window class name from c#?

Question

How can I get the window class name of a certain process? I want to achieve this in c#.

I've tried the process class in c# but I can only get the window name of the process.

Thanks

I assume you mean you want to get the class name of the main window of a process.

To do this, you will need to get the handle to the main window using the MainWindowHandle of your Process object, and then use the following interop method to obtain the class name:

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern int GetClassName(IntPtr hWnd, StringBuilder lpClassName, int nMaxCount);

see pinvoke.net for sample code and MSDN for details on the function.
