Listing of Windows on Taskbar

[exodius]

Is there a way to get a listing of the windows on the taskbar in the order that they appear there from left to right?

[exodius]

In WinXP the taskbar is a ToolbarWindow32. I can send a message to that control to receive it's button names... but... the taskbar groups windows... To get a list of windows you may want to use WinList() and check for "visible" windows. There are caveats of course like WS_EX_TOOLWINDOWs and other "top level" windows that have no task bar reference... So what do you really specifically want?

I'd like this script to be able to list the windows as they appear on the taskbar so if you just want to move one window the right one spot you don't have to completely redo the order.
