How to find out what window is active .. ?

[sandman]

I need a script to do something to whatever window is open, but I can't seem to get anything working. I already tried this:

$active = WinActive()

And that didn't work. As far as I know, there is no GetActiveWin() or WinGetActive() or whatever supported. What can I use to find this out?

From Helpfile:

WinGetTitle("") returns the active window's title. WinGetTitle works on both minimized and hidden windows. If multiple windows match the criteria, the most recently active window is used.

Okay, Thanks.

I tried your answer, Dabus, and it didn't work. It just returned the variable name ($active). I had it set like this:

$active = WinGetTitle("")

HotKeySet('{esc}', 'quit')

While 1
    ToolTip(WinGetTitle(''))
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func quit()
    Exit
EndFunc
