The compiler is complaining it can't find an identifier named 
GetWindowTextW, so you'll have to declare it yourself.

Try this:

  extern(Windows)
  int GetWindowTextW(HWND hWnd, LPWSTR lpString, int nMaxCount);

And call it like so:

  wchar[MAX_PATH] buffer;
  int length = GetWindowTextW(GetForegroundWindow(), buffer.ptr, 
buffer.length);
