c# - How can I get URLs of open pages from Chrome and Firefox? -

i'm writing system tray app needs check if internal web based app open.

i can check ie using following:

shdocvw.shellwindows shellwindows = new shdocvw.shellwindows();         string filename;         bool sdopen = false;         foreach (shdocvw.internetexplorer ie in shellwindows)         {             filename = path.getfilenamewithoutextension(ie.fullname).tolower();             if (filename.equals("iexplore"))             {                 string[] urlparts = (ie.locationurl.tostring()).split('/');                 string website = urlparts[2];                 if (website == "myapp:8080") { sdopen = true; };             }         }          if (sdopen) { console.writeline("app open"); } else { console.writeline("app not open"); };          console.readkey(true); 

however, of users using system prefer chrome or firefox.

how can same above (i.e. urls of open tabs in browser) chrome , firefox? (i'm not going bother other browsers these ones in use in our organisation.)

it's specific every browser. that's major ones:

• internet explorer - can use shdocvw (like did)
• firefox - can url using dde (source below)
• chrome - can url while enumerating child windows untill control class "chrome_omniboxview" , text using getwindowtext
• opera - can use same thing firefox, "opera"
• safari - there no known method since uses custom drawn controls

edit: since 2014, chrome has changed , need url acessibility.

code url firefox/opera using dde (which used ndde - dde wrapper .net):

// // usage: getbrowserurl("opera") or getbrowserurl("firefox") //  private string getbrowserurl(string browser) {     try {         ddeclient dde = new ddeclient(browser, "www_getwindowinfo");         dde.connect();         string url = dde.request("url", int.maxvalue);         string[] text = url.split(new string[] { "\",\"" }, stringsplitoptions.removeemptyentries);         dde.disconnect();         return text[0].substring(1);     } catch {         return null;     } }
