The only way I know of that one could do this easily would be to poll the open windows using the enumWindows and enumChildWindows functions from user32.dll.
There are probably better and more complicated ways involving trapping system calls, but that is beyond my realm of expertise.

Hi Good morning,

I am creating one windows application. This application duty is finding the other applications opening time and closing time. When ever the application is opened by the user then my application will catch that opened time and when ever application (not my application other application) closed by the user then my application will catch the closed time... How can i do this vb.net

One thing you can do is to have your application query the currently running processes every x number of seconds, and maintain a book for currently running processes, then if a new one one appears (or disappears) you log the result.

Here is the link to your answer with the full source code:

Hope this helps,
