sorry may be this is kind of a weird question.The thing I want to do is to clone the current active window and hide the real one and then perform specific tasks if any object of that cloned window is accessed and after that show the real window.

How to achieve this ?

Why you need open a duplicate window and close this and reopen again ? what are you trying to do ?

i want to protect a specific directory by asking for a password when the request to open that directory is submitted

Opening of new dialog popup window for asking password will not serve the purpose ? once password has entered just close the popup window and call specific function in parent window in order to continue the operation.

What is your basic requirement to achieve by making clone windows?

What does it mean, "WindowsApplication"? WPF, Forms, something else?

Yes, this is weird, and smells technology abuse, bad UI design. We can discuss it only if you motivate this idea. Who would like to waste one's time for who knows what?

@Sharmanuj i want to get the properties of the object such as (object name , its location) using c++ or c#

@Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov ,it is about visual studio , windows application , windows sdk , how to combine all this to get the property of the object which was double clicked

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 21-Aug-14 3:38am

It does not answers my question and is extremely unclear. You really need to explain everything properly and motivate your idea.
What object, what is its purpose, click what (you cannot click an object, you click on screen), why, where?...

@Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov ,a folder , when i doubleclick it i want to block its access and want to prompt a new dialogbox that asks for a correct password , if the password is correct only then that folder will be opened

You are not even trying to answer my questions...
