Gets a value indicating whether the user interface of the process is responding.
(in System.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property Responding As Boolean
Dim instance As Process
Dim value As Boolean
value = instance.Responding
public bool Responding { get; }
public:
property bool Responding {
bool get ();
}
public function get Responding () : boolean
Property Value
Type:
System..::.Boolean
true if the user interface of the associated process is responding to the system; otherwise, false.
If a process has a user interface, the Responding property contacts the user interface to determine whether the process is responding to user input. If the interface does not respond immediately, the Responding property returns false. Use this property to determine whether the interface of the associated process has stopped responding.
If the process does not have a MainWindowHandle, this property returns true.
Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition Platform Note: This property is not available on this platform if you started the process with ProcessStartInfo..::.UseShellExecute set to true.
The following example starts an instance of Notepad. The example then retrieves and displays various properties of the associated process. The example detects when the process exits, and displays the process's exit code.
