How do I get messages from multiple non-AutoIt windows?

[daddydave]

I want to get messages from any visible window: regardless of whether it is created by my program. Here is what I am trying, none of my debug output is showing. What do you suggest?

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Debug.au3>
Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Global $var[100]

Global $hWnd, $msg, $i

$var = WinList()

_DebugSetup ("What's going on?")

While 1
    For $i = 1 To $var[0][0]
        If $var[$i][0] <> "" And IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
            $hWnd = $var[$i][1]
            GUISwitch($hWnd)
            $msg = GUIGetMsg()
            Select
                Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                    _DebugOut("Closed")
                Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
                    _DebugOut("Minimized")
                Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE
                    _DebugOut("Maximized")
            EndSelect
        EndIf
    Next
WEnd

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

EndFunc   ;==>IsVisible

Look at AnyGUI

EDIT: Your code is absolutelly wrong. All GUIxxx() functions can be used only with your AutoIt's GUI windows

Thanks for the fast reply, Zedna, that example looks like good stuff!

It turns out I don't need to monitor messages per se. I found a nice example very similar to what I want to do:

_GuiTarget from the AnyGUI link you gave uses some of the API functions used by the example above, but it took me a while to find it.

So thanks again!
