MainWindowHandl e of an HTA

132 New Member
Hello,

I'm currently working on a software where I need to get the windowhandle of an HTAwindow.

Currently I'm Using this code
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. Process[] procs = Process.GetProcessesByName("MSHTA");
  3. IntPtr hWnd;
  4.  
  5. debug.print(procs.count()) // returns 1
  6.  
  7. hWnd = procs[0].MainWindowHandle;
  8.  
  9. debug.print(hWnd.ToString()); // returns 0
  10.  
At all times, I'm getting 0 as my handle.
But I don't understand why.

I even tried using the FindWindow but I'm getting the same results.

Anybody has an idea why?

Cheers,
Kenneth

Actually I just noticed that I made a typo in the FindWindow-code. I jut tried it again and it is working.

However still not using the ProcessByName-function.

But I can continue so that's ok.

Hi all, how can I set an app's main window to visible from an other application? My problem is, that I know only the handle of the other app's main process, because the application's main window is set to hidden, so it doesn't have a mainwindowHandle, so I can't send a message to it. Any idea? Thank's in advance,

Hi, I am running a suite of tests of a WIN 32 application. Every test launches the same application, checks if the Application has a Main Window handle and then proceeds. However i am noticing when i run a reasonably large ( 80-90) number of tests one after the other the Main Window handle API displays inconsistant behavior. About 70% of the time my application returns a valid Main WIndow handle

I could use win32's FindWindowEx, but I need to know the window's title bar text, or the window's class name that was registered with win32's RegisterClass (does anyone know what that would be?). Is there a C# solution using Process? Seems ugly to use win32 functions. Zytan
