Solution 2

I am not familiar with the "UI Automation Library" but Form.ActiveForm in a WinForms Application will return a reference to the active Form; if there is no active Form, it returns 'null [^].

thanks, but none of these two statement don't work on my code!
I use UI automation library to run and test my app automatically. for example suppose I write a code with help of the methods of this library, in that the Login form is opened automatically and then by automated clicking on the "OK" button, a new form will be opened. suppose I don't know the name of this new form. and I want to use a method or a statement to detect the name of this form. do you know such statement?
(I think this statement or method should be one of the UI autoamtion librarie's method!!)

(when I run my code, that new form (the second form) in above example will be opened, but none of your statements don't work and these statement return null value!)
