If the immediate parent has no main window, it looks for similar processes with main windows. .EXAMPLE Get-PowershellMainWindowProcess Returns the process object for the window hosting the current PowerShell session. #> function Get-PowershellMainWindowProcess { [CmdletBinding()] param() begin { # get the current powershell process $currentProcess = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::GetCurrentProcess() # initialize parent process tracking $parentProcess = $currentProcess Write-Verbose "Starting from process: $($currentProcess.ProcessName)" } process { # traverse up the process tree until we find a window or hit the top while (($parentProcess.MainWindowHandle -eq 0) -and ($null -ne $parentProcess.Parent)) { $parentProcess = $parentProcess.Parent Write-Verbose "Checking parent process: $($parentProcess.ProcessName)" } # if we found a process with a main window, use it if ($parentProcess.MainWindowHandle -ne 0) { Write-Verbose "Found parent with main window: $($parentProcess.ProcessName)" $currentProcess = $parentProcess } else { # look for similar processes that have main windows $similarProcess = Get-Process -Name $currentProcess.Parent.ProcessName | Where-Object { 0 -ne $PSItem.MainWindowHandle } | Select-Object -First 1 if ($null -ne $similarProcess) { Write-Verbose "Found similar process with main window: $($similarProcess.ProcessName)" $currentProcess = $similarProcess } else { Write-Verbose "No similar parent process found with main window" } } } end { # return the found process $currentProcess } } ################################################################################ |
