You can get the window title for current application. Based on window title and window handle, you can get sufficient details.

Code is in vb.net

<DllImport("user32.dll")> _
Private Shared Function GetForegroundWindow() As IntPtr
End Function

<DllImport("user32.dll")> _
Private Shared Function GetWindowText(hWnd As IntPtr, text As StringBuilder, count As Integer) As Integer
End Function

Private Function GetCurrentWindowTitle() As String
    Const  nChr As Integer = 256
    Dim str As New StringBuilder(nChr)
    Dim handle As IntPtr = GetForegroundWindow()

    If GetWindowText(handle, str, nChr) > 0 Then
        Return str.ToString()
    End If
    Return Nothing
End Function
