window handle

[andy]

Hi, All

Can I get the application window handle if I know the application name in
the process? The FindWindow function only can be used when the caption of
it is known.

Thanks,

andy

Yes. You can get window handle through FindWindow either by supplying its
caption or by supplying its classname or both. For example to get a handle
to a running instance of Excel through its classname, the following can be
used:

hWindow=FindWindow(XLMain, vbNullString).

Classnames of applications can be obtained through spy++ utility.
