Process MainWindowHandle

[Moty Michaely]

Hello all,

I am enumerating vb6 process from c# application by name.

I need to send message to all processes that has the specified name but for
this purpose I need the handle of the main window for each process returned.

I once read that vb6 app mainWindowHandle is the handle of the hidden window
that runs the application.

If so, what's the way to get the handle of the main window of each vb6
application by it's process info???

Hi,

You can use the Win32 API FindWindow if you know the process name, that will
return the Window handle.

Hi, thanks for the reply,

I thought about it but FindWindow depands on the Z order of the windows.

I solved it by setting a propery like "IsWindowMain" and checking all child
forms of the MainWindowHandle.

Thanks again
