Hi,
I need to enumerate windows and find the sum of the rect of all the windows
of a specific application. In C++, I use the APIs - 'EnumWindows ,
GetWindowRect and UnionRect to accomplish the same.
How to perform the above in c#? Is PInvoke the only way to do it or Is there
some inherent c# way?

Nothing that I know of except to add and remove each form from a collection
manually as they are created and destroyed. You could do this in a base form
and inherit from it. On the other hand EnumWindows does work pretty well in
C#.

HL,
..NET doesn't provide a method for enumerating windows of arbitrary
application in the system. An application can only enumerate its own
windows.

Hi Goutsev,
Can you let me know how an application can enumerate its own windows?

If it is an MDI application, you can simply enumerate through the
MdiChildren collection.
foreach(Form f in this.MdiChildre n)
{
MessageBox.Show (f.Name);
}

HL,
Each controls (the form is control too) has Controls collection. There you
can get all windows (controls) that are direct children of the control.
Normally applications has one for which is the main form of the application
and you start from there. You need to write probably recursive methods that
enumerates all direct children of the form and then the children of the
children and so on.
If the application is MDI container you should probably start with the
MdiChildren collection and then you can go down to each mdi child's Controls
collection.

I need to eumerate all available drives in a C# Windows Form application (
and then of course the directory tree, but that's not the problem)
My question is, how to I enumerate all the available drives?
My initial thought was along the lines of
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo( "c:\\");
DirectoryInfo Root = new DirectoryInfo( di.Parent.Name.ToString() );
DirectoryInfo RootDrives = Root.GetDirectories();

I think that it would be handy for enumerate to behave as such:
def enumerate(itrbl, start=0, step=1):
i = start
for it in itrbl:
yield (i, it)
i += step
This allows much more flexibility than in the current enumerate,
tightens up code in many cases, and seems that it would break no

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
