Idenltying a Window Without Relying on Title text

[BruceCopperField]

I know currently Autoit is using the title text to identify a window. However, my script could be run on Windows of various languages and I cannot foresee the title text in advance since there will be some language I do not understand. I would like to use process Id to get the Window but isn't sure how to.

I know the process Id of my target Window which is spawn by my process. Then I just use WinList() to enumerate all and select those with the desired pid:

enumProcesWindows(2046, $allHWND)

Func enumProcessWindows(Const $pid, ByRef $allHWND)
 Local $winList=WinList()
 For $i = 1 To $winList[0][0] 
  If WinGetProcess($winList[$i][1]) = $pid Then
   _ArrayAdd($allHWND, $winList[$i][1])
  EndIf
 Next
EndFunc

My $allHWND array would contains all the controls belonging to my pid. But the problem is, the array contains handle to my target Window as well as its child controls. How could I tell which one is a control of my window which one is my window's handle?

Seems you need to examine all top level windows. From there you can query the process id. I will give two solutions. The first uses a winapi command to get top level windows, the second has a couple examples,lists all taskbar windows or an exclusion list.

1) _WinAPI_EnumWindowsTop

2) http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=104829&st=0&p=741551&hl=list%20taskbar%20windows&fromsearch=1&#entry741551

Func _WinActivateByProcessName($sProcessName,$iAll=0)
    ;Oscar (www.autoit.de)
    Local $aProcessList, $aWinList
    $aProcessList = ProcessList($sProcessName)
    If @error Then Return
    $aWinList = WinList()
    If $aWinList[0][0] = 0 Then Return
    For $i = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]
        For $j = 1 To $aProcessList[0][0]
            If WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][1]) = $aProcessList[$j][1] Then
                WinActivate($aWinList[$i][1])
                If $iAll = 0 Then Return
            EndIf
        Next
    Next
EndFunc

/EDIT: Oops, my fault! I read "ProcessName" instead of "PID" :S
