Get windows created by the program

[meisandy 0]

Hi guys,

This is just a general query, but it is related to >one of my previous topics in some ways. If a program generates 'sub-windows', i.e if file download dialogs are created that belong to the script's process, is there any way to return an array or something with the information, or handles for these windows?

Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks in advance

Look helpfile winlist function

Local $var = WinList()

For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
    ; Only display visble windows that have a title
    If $var[$i][0] <> "" And IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
        MsgBox(0, "Details", "Title=" & $var[$i][0] & @LF & "Handle=" & $var[$i][1])
    EndIf
Next

Func IsVisible($handle)
    If BitAND(WinGetState($handle), 2) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>IsVisible

or maybe also WinGetProcess () can do to your case

here something similar?

#include <Array.au3>

#include <WinAPI.au3>
$hWin = WinGetHandle("your window") ; This is the parent window
$iPID = WinGetProcess($hWin)
$iCurrentPid = ""
$aWin = WinList()
For $i = UBound($aWin)-1 To 0 Step -1
    _WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId($aWin[$i][1], $iCurrentPid)
    If $iCurrentPid <> $iPID Then
        _ArrayDelete($aWin,$i)
    EndIf
Next

_ArrayDisplay($aWin)

or:

#include <constants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
$hWin = WinGetHandle("your window") ; This is the parent window
$iPID = WinGetProcess($hWin)

$hWin = _WinAPI_GetWindow($hWin, $GW_HWNDFIRST)
$end= _WinAPI_GetWindow($hWin, $GW_HWNDLAST)

$iCurrentPid = ""
While True
    $hWin = _WinAPI_GetWindow($hWin, $GW_HWNDNEXT)
    _WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId($hWin, $iCurrentPid)
    If $iCurrentPid = $iPID Then
        ConsoleWrite($hWin & " state=[" & WinGetState($hWin) & "] title=[" & WinGetTitle($hWin) & "]" & @CRLF)
    EndIf
    If $hWin = $end Then ExitLoop
WEnd
; many of the handles returned will not be visible, but you can add checks on the wingetstate inside the if statement

Thank you very much everyone. You all showed me exactly what I was looking for!

I'm going to mark jdelaney's answer as the one that solved the topic, but only because it is the more complete of the three.
