How do I go about getting the document/window name from other
applications?
On Leopard and later, you may be able to do this with the CGWindow API
(CGWindow.h). Something like this:
- use CGWindowListCreate to get a list of all windows
- for each window in the list, use CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo to get
info about the window
- from each window's info, get the kCGWindowOwnerPID entry so you can
sort windows by pid
- from each window's info, get the kCGWindowName entry so you can
identify the window name
