## Remarks
A process has a main window associated with it only if the process has a graphical interface. If the associated process does not have a main window (so that <xref:System.Diagnostics.Process.MainWindowHandle%2A> is zero), <xref:System.Diagnostics.Process.MainWindowTitle%2A> is an empty string (""). If you have just started a process and want to use its main window title, consider using the <xref:System.Diagnostics.Process.WaitForInputIdle%2A> method to allow the process to finish starting, ensuring that the main window handle has been created. Otherwise, the system throws an exception.
A process has a main window associated with it only if the process has a graphical interface. If the associated process does not have a main window (so that <xref:System.Diagnostics.Process.MainWindowHandle%2A> is zero), or if the system can't determine that there's a main window (such as may be the case on some Unix platforms), <xref:System.Diagnostics.Process.MainWindowTitle%2A> is an empty string ("").

If you have just started a process and want to use its main window title, consider using the <xref:System.Diagnostics.Process.WaitForInputIdle%2A> method to allow the process to finish starting, ensuring that the main window handle has been created. Otherwise, the system throws an exception.

> [!NOTE]
> The main window is the window that currently has the focus; note that this might not be the primary window for the process. You must use the <xref:System.Diagnostics.Process.Refresh%2A> method to refresh the <xref:System.Diagnostics.Process> object to get the current main window handle if it has changed.
