Get handle to a window

[Keymaker]

I am writing a "wrapper" program for an audio player using AutoIT. I need the window handle so I can manipulate the windows controls. Unfortunately, the player's window title changes depending on which song or track is playing so I can't reliably use that to get the window handle.

The Process name does not change though. Is there a way I can get the window handle if I know the process name?

Thanks

Have you checked with the supplied au3info.exe to see if you can identify the window on any other unique information?

Hello Jos,

Yes, I did. It has the ubiquitous #32770 as the class label.

However, the controls in the window are relatively unique, so if if there was way to enumerate the controls of a window, I could check all the windows of class #32770 and see which one had a certain control. That may be another option and any suggestions on how to acomplish that are welcome.

Thanks

I like your workaround. Check out WinGetClassList for control class enumeration.

What may also work is to send a command to a control that you are reasonably assured will be unique to your app. For example, sending ControlGetHandle( "[CLASS:#32770]", "", "Play" ). If it returns a valid handle, you can obtain the parent window using _WinAPI_GetParent().

Hope this helped,
