Enumwindows

[Wayne]

I have some code written in delphi that uses EnumWindows, I would like to
begin to translate this code to C#. Is there a built in EnumWindows call in
Csharp? or do I have to import the API and use it that way?

Thanks
Wayne

You have to use DllImport

[DllImport("user32")]
public static extern int EnumWindows(EnumWindowsCB cb, int lparam);

I am sorry for the stupid question, but what does EnumWindows do? Gives you
a list of each MDI Child window? Each Form? Each Application?

It will give you a list of every top level window on the current desktop.
From there for each window you can call EnumChildWindow recursivly which
will give you a list of each of the child windows.

No problem importing it, just wanted to make sure I had to, what about the
following:

EnumChildWindows
GetWindowtext
GetWindow
SendMessage
PostMessage
SetCursorPos

The Help in VS.net is great, just its VERY BIG and sometimes hard to find
exactly what you need.

Thanks

a) SetCursorPos

Cursor.Position.X = 50;
Cursor.Position.Y = 50;

b)GetWindow

IntPtr handle = //set handle here
Form myForm = Form.FromHandle(handle );

c)GetWindowText

IntPtr handle = //set handle here
Form myForm = Form.FromHandle(handle );
string Title = myForm.Text;

d) EnumChildWindows, SendMessage and Postmessage can be used using DllImport

Thanks Wayne! I am no good with Win32 APIs... I always cheated using (what's
his name? Petzold?)'s API book.

a) x,y are marked as read only so that won't work
b) the form may not be in my app, when I run this code using a handle that I
know exists I get back a null refferance.
c) see b
d) cool I'll get that converted

Any other ideas?

Thanks

I played with the Cursor.Postion a bit more, turns out I have to create a
new Point and assign the postion property the point. So I am good there.
Just need to know how to find a window and get it's text if its not in my
app and possible that it's not a .net app.

Hi Wayne,

As far as I know, there is no managed class in .NET framework equivalent to
EnumWindows API. However, you can use P/Invoke to call that API. Here I
have found some sample codes that uses EnumWindows and GetWindowText in C#.
HTH.

Thanks to everyone for their hints and help. I got Enumwindows working over
the weekend.

Maybe a little late if you've already solved the problem, but you may find this site useful for figuring out the PInvoke:
