[![SDK](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/WindowWatcher?label=sdk)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowWatcher/)

The Window Watcher SDK allows you to listen for changes to the current foreground (active) window on Windows devices. The SDK takes advantage of the `user32.dll` windowing APIs to get information about the current foreground (active) window on a device using P/Invoke.

## Getting started

### Get the SDK

If you want to build your own applications on the Window Watcher SDK, you can install the package into your dotnet application.

```bash

dotnet add package WindowWatcher

```

Or by adding the `WindowWatcher` package in your NuGet package manager of choice.

To use the SDK, [follow the Window Watcher SDK instructions](https://github.com/jamesmcroft/window-watcher/blob/main/src/WindowWatcher/README.md).
