using System.Diagnostics;
Process[] pa = Process.GetProcessesByName("WINWORD");
if(pa != null)
{
int count = pa.Length;
}

I would just use the tools available in System.Diagnostics. Example: System.Diagnostics.Process[] runningProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("WinWord"); foreach(System.Diagnostics.Process proc in runningProcess) Console.WriteLine(proc.Id);

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' ('I found it!') but 'That's funny...’

Thank all of you. This is very helpful! Here is what I did using Win32API(I import the user32.dll and put it into my Win32API class), but it doesn't work as I except. public int CheckWord { int num; string lpText = new string((char) 0, 100); IntPtr hWnd = Win32API.GetWindow(Win32API.GetDesktopWindow(), Win32API.GW_CHILD); int UStnNumber = 0; while ( !hWnd.Equals(IntPtr.Zero) ) { num = Win32API.RealGetWindowClass(hWnd, lpText, lpText.Length); if ( num > 0 ) { if ( lpText.Equals("OpusApp") ) { UStnNumber ++; } } hWnd = Win32API.GetWindow( hWnd, Win32API.GW_HWNDNEXT ); } return UStnNumber; } Do you know why?

Yes, I did. It works very well. But I just wonder why my way doesn't work.
