WinGetHandle for parent console


Recommended Posts

Good Morning,

I am having a small issue in getting the handle for the console window that launched the process - which then tries to get its own handle.

If i may elaborate.

I have a script compiled as a console app. When run, i need to write commands directly back into the command window that launched the exe.

There may be numerous cmd windows open, so looking for a class wouldnt be enough. The command prompt could be launched from desktop or system32 so title wont be enough either.

So what i am asking is, is it possible to get the hwnd for the command prompt window that launched the script ?

My code is as follows :

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Change2CUI=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#Include <WinAPI.au3>



;
; validate parameters
;
; if no parmeters, assume launched via desktop and open GUI exe
;
; if 1 paramater, assume lanched from cmd line and return error for insuficient parameters
;
; if 2 paramters, use this info and launch console procedure



if $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then

;launch gui and terminate launcher
Run("C:\GuiPart.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Exit
    EndIf

if $CmdLine[0] = 1 Then
; generate console error and terminate
ConsoleWrite ("")
ConsoleWrite ("Error - command not specified")
ConsoleWrite ("")

Exit
    EndIf


if $CmdLine[0] = 2 Then
; valid parameters passed - start console process
$tillno = $CmdLine[1]
$cmd = $CmdLine[2]
ConsoleWrite ("")
ConsoleWrite ("Here we go")
ConsoleWrite ("")
ConsoleWrite ("")


;; ^^^^ all working fine above

; get hwnd and write commands to it.
Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:ConsoleWindowClass]")
Local $sHWND = String($hWnd)    ; Convert to a string

_WinAPI_PostMessage($hWnd, "dir c:\" & @CRLF)


    EndIf
Exit
