How to get the exact title of the windows running in linux
September 03, 2007 08:16 PM
Hi,
I'm trying to get the exact title of the windows running in linux by using XFetchName function, as shown in the following code:
The code works, but it only give me the names of the "application kinds", like console, konkeror, kwrite etc. For example: Suppose I have a doc called "ReadMe", opened with kwrite. When I run that code, it returns the "kwrite" name for this app. I would like to get the "ReadMe" name. Please, how could I do this?
Thanks in advance

According to the ICCCM, a property named WM_NAME will be added to the window with the title. The Extended Window Manager Hints add the UTF-8 formatted _NET_WM_NAME and _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME properties. You can use XGetWindowProperty to get these values.
