find what applications are open?

[FunkyBunnies]

Heyo all!

I'm trying to work on a context sensitive virtual toolbar of hotkeys for many different apps.

I have little snippets and tests here and there but a few things have been confusing me early on

one is how I can find what applications are open at the moment, or what windows belong to what applications even

any help is greatly appreciated!

Haven't tried, but looked promising... You might have to read to the end?

Try this........... I didn't make it, I got it off the forum somewhere and tweaked. You have window name and class of each window. Combine the two and you can associate the window a specific program.

#include <Array.au3>

#include <Winapi.au3>

Global $aWinList, $aRetWinList

$sExclude_List = "Start[CL:102939]|Start|Desktop|Start Menu[CL:102938]|desktop[CL:102937]|Program Manager"

$aWinList = _WinListEx(Default, Default, $sExclude_List)

_ArrayDisplay($aWinList)

Func _WinListEx($sTitle="", $sText="", $sExclude_List="")

$sExclude_List = "|" & $sExclude_List & "|"

If $sTitle = -1 Or (IsKeyword($sTitle) And $sTitle = Default) Then

$aWinList = WinList()

Else

$aWinList = WinList($sTitle, $sText)

EndIf

Dim $aRetWinList[$aWinList[0][0]][6]

For $i = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]

;Only display visible windows that have a title

If $aWinList[$i][0] = "" Or Not BitAND(WinGetState($aWinList[$i][1]), 2) Then ContinueLoop

;Add to array all win titles that is not in the exclude list

If Not StringInStr($sExclude_List, "|" & $aWinList[$i][0] & "|") Then

$aRetWinList[0][1] += 1

$aRetWinList[$aRetWinList[0][1]][0] = $aWinList[$i][0]

$aRetWinList[$aRetWinList[0][1]][1] = $aWinList[$i][1]

$classed = _WinAPI_GetClassName($aWinList[$i][1])

$aRetWinList[$aRetWinList[0][1]][2] = "[CLASS:"&$classed&"]"

EndIf

Next

ReDim $aRetWinList[$i][6]

Return $aRetWinList

EndFunc

Awesome, thank you both a ton

after looking into this, I'm not sure I can get the information I need out of the Class of the window.

If I can bother you with more questions, is there any way to find the executable associated with a window or even to list what .exe's are running?

[Ascend4nt]

WinGetProcess(). For a list of exe's running, PRocessList(). It's all there in the Help file

*sorry, should have noted - you can combine both to find the exe *name* (first gets the PID, 2nd gets a list of names with PIDs)
