[Need help] Getting hwnd using PID?

[Qvintus 0]

Hello I was wondering if it's possible to get the hwnd using PID?

Currently I found:

WinList - Though this requires the window name, wich could be the same for 2 instances in some situations.

ProcessList - Can return PID but not hwnd

WinGetHandle - Requires window name again

Anything I have overlooked for now? Or is ther some sort of bypass somewhere?

Basicly I want to finde the hwnd using a ProcessList where 2 windows

mostly will have the same name, meaning I can't finde it using the window name.

Any ideas?

WinList()

&

WinGetProcess()

I already know how to get PID, I need to use the PID to somehow get the hwnd.

If I can use WinList for that then please explain a little more of what parameter it should be in.

Also if I should use "[PID:" & $pid &"]" or something wiered like that?

WinGetProcess()

To be used on your hwnd's from winlist to see if its the PID your looking for.

But, this can return multiple matches, as a process can have multiple windows. so some additional window title information is probably needed to make sure you get the one your after.

See example in next message.

Just an Example:

Global $PID2 = ""
$Amow = 100
$hWnd2 = ""
$aPID = Run("Notepad.exe")
Sleep($Amow)
$theWinlist = Winlist()
    Do
        For $i = 1 To $theWinlist[0][0]
            If $theWinlist[$i][0] <> "" Then
                $iPID2 = WinGetProcess($theWinlist[$i][1])
                If $iPID2 = $aPID Then
                    $hWnd2 = $theWinlist[$i][1]
                    ExitLoop
                EndIf
            EndIf
        Next
    Until $hWnd2 <> 0
    MsgBox(0, "Handle is", $hWnd2)
WinClose($hWnd2)

Perfect code, JoHanatCent. As long as there is only one exe with that name, it works on everything I tried
