Need PID2WINHANDLE function?

[billym]

I have a application that when launched with the run command with hide option it still does not hide the window but I am able to hide it when setting the state of the window. I am wanting to minimize the display time or eliminate the display of the window all together. I have tried all of the reccomended solutions in the forum but was unable to find an example of hiding the window by using the PID to get the windows handle then trying to manipulate it from here. When I spy on the window I can see that there is some delay between the creation of the handle and when it is made visible. Any help would be appreciated.

It's not sraight forward to answer your question the way you've asked it because a single PID can have many associated windows.

Here is an approach that should help however...

This uses WinList to get an array of all window titles and handles. It then redim's the resulting array to add a third element in the second dimension that holds the PID of the process associated with each window.

$myWinList = _WinListWithPID()

For $i = 1 to (Ubound($myWinList, 1) - 1)
    ConsoleWrite("Handle: " & $myWinList[$i][1] & _
                " Pid: "    & $myWinList[$i][2] & _
                " Title: "  & $myWinList[$i][0] & @CR)
Next

Exit

Func _WinListWithPID()
    $aWin = WinList()
    Redim $aWin[Ubound($aWin, 1)][3]
    For $n = 1 to (Ubound($aWin, 1) - 1)
        $aWin[$n][2] = WinGetProcess($aWin[$n][1])
    Next
    Return $aWin
EndFunc

Edit: Corrected error trying to get and report PID of element 0 in the array (this holds the number of windows, not valid window information). Also added Window Title to Example output.
