I'm with difficulties for insert a text in a textBox or RichtextBox without repeat.

This is code used:

 #include "windows.h" #pragma comment(lib, "user32") void actwnd() { wchar_t lastwindow[MAX_PATH]; wchar_t currentwindow[MAX_PATH]; HWND mainwindow; mainwindow = GetForegroundWindow(); GetWindowText(mainwindow,currentwindow,sizeof(currentwindow)); if(lastwindow==currentwindow) { } else if(lastwindow!=currentwindow) { strcpy ((char*)lastwindow,(char*)currentwindow); String^ strNew = gcnew String(currentwindow); // String^ wnd = gcnew String(reinterpret_cast(currentwindow)); textBox1->Text += strNew; } } // Set interval for 1000ms in test private: System::Void timer1_Tick(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { actwnd(); }

Any help will appreciated

if(lastwindow==currentwindow) does not compare the strings, it compares the addresses of the arrays, so they will never be equal. Use wcscmp to compare wchar_t arrays. Since these are wchar_t arrays, it is also invalid to be copying them with strcpy, which is only used with char arrays. Use wcscpy instead.

Thank @ScottMcP-MVP. Based in your clue, I achieved it make some changes of follow way => if(wcscmp(lastwindow,currentwindow)!=0) { wcscpy (lastwindow,currentwindow); String^ strNew = gcnew String(currentwindow); textBox1->Text += strNew; } .Work fine now!
