Get WinHandle from PID

[Aslak]

Hello,

I could hardly find what I want in the doc or by searching the forums, so I post my question:

Is there a way to get the WinHandle from a window by using it's PID ?

I'm in a situation where I have several windows with same titles (and no text) and I must interact with only a certain one.

I've got the PID from this window.

Any help will be welcomed!

Topic is clear enough, is the search button?

Advanced search ... Keywords you used in your topic

Results = http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...%2BPID%2BHandle

OK. I did a "normal" search and got so many results far away from the subject.

Will use the Advanced search next time !

thanks, and sorry...

No problem, I was being a bit of a smart ass...

I generally start with this approach:

Advanced search

Keywords (usually if I don't know the author I'm looking for, example: +PID+Handle )

Author (Only if I know who wrote it)

Click Titles only

Choose a forum if you want (I usually start in the example script forum)

Click perform search

Ironically, now searches for 'WinHandle from PID' turn up this thread about searching for WinHandle from PID... and not the actual answer. That link doesn't work.

I need help about this to can anyone show how i can do this? Thnx

Well, you have to search for window handle by PID

Then, you get e.g this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=523874

Example using Calculator:

#include <Constants.au3>
$hWnd = ""
$iPID = ProcessExists("calc.exe")
If $iPID <> 0 Then
    $aWinList = WinList()

    For $i = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]
        If WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][0]) = $iPID Then
            $hWnd = $aWinList[$i][1]
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
EndIf

If $hWnd <> "" Then
    MsgBox(0, 0, WinGetTitle($hWnd) & @CRLF & $hWnd)
Else
    MsgBox(64, "Not Found", "No matching process found.")
EndIf

When i read thats not what i want What i want is to use control send on two application that have the SAME name..

ive figured out the PID thingy but controlSend doesnt work with PIDS, so is there any alternative way to send keystrokes to the specefied PID ?..

Thanks

Does the two applications have anything that makes them unique from each other? any text in them that is different?

[ProgAndy]

Well.

1) Get list of processes and PIDs -> ProcessList ( 2d Array with Names + PIDs)

2) For each PID you can get it's UNIQUE window HANDLES -> ProcessGetWindows ( 2d-Array with Titles + Handles)

3) Now you can send to the Window identified by HWND, even if they have same title

ProgAndy srry im nooby i can give the code i got atm

$list = ProcessList("wow.exe")
Func ToggleHealer()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
    ToolTip('Healer is Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("Healer is Started",0,0)
    Sleep(1550)
    ControlSend("World of Warcraft","", $list[1][1] ,"8")
EndFunc

ControlSend("World of Warcraft","", $list[1][1] ,"8")

I want my this function to send Some keystrokes to the specified PID, and i also have another function that sends keystrokes to another session of the application..

How can i do this?
