Get WinHwd

[Generator]

Hi everyone, . I was trying to get the WinHwd of the current active window so I can use it later on.

Any idea how it works? I tried this way, but it only gets itself's handle. Not other processes.

This is what I did:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
HotKeySet("{F11}","GetHandle")
HotKeySet("{F10}","Quit")
While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd
Func GetHandle()
    Local $Title
    Local $Handle
    $Title=WinGetTitle("","")
    $Handle=WinGetHandle($Title,"")
    MsgBox(64,"Handle","Handle is: "&$Handle)
EndFunc
Func Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Thanks in advance.

Look up WinList and WinActive in the help file. Using them together should let you find all the open windows and then loop through them to see which one is active.

Is that the only way? I've looked through help file thousands of time.

Everything in scripting is loops. They seem inefficient, but your computer runs at 1000+ GIGAHERTZ... it can handle it!

MsgBox(0, "", _WinGetActive())
Func _WinGetActive()
    $local = WinList()
    For $i = 1 to $local[0][0]
        If WinActive($local[$i][1]) Then
            Return $local[$i][0]
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc

Yes I understood that, but I am trying to get the current active WinHwd without looping, since WinGetTitle("","") gets the current active Windows Title, so I thought maybe WinGetHandle will do the same. But I realized it doesn't work because the WinTitleMatchMode's parameter is 4.

Anyone got any idea?

Did you see the code i just posted? It returns the title of the window which you can run through "WinGetHandle"

But he doesn't want to use loops! Better minds will have to help...

glad i could help... i haven't helped in a while

I found out in WinTitleMatchMode Parameter 4 you are unable to get WinHandle by Title, if it does this will just do the job

WinGetTitle("","")
;It gets the title of the current active windows

But thanks again your way worked.
