Programs on Taskbar

[Shark]

How do I get the handle of all applications on the TaskBar?

See your post in the API section.

That is where the first post went. I posted and couldn't find it in the general. Thanks Megatron.

This can do it...

Public Declare Function SeekWin Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As _
Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long

Sub GetAllWin (HwndList() As Long)
  Dim c, hwdwin, cnt
  Do Until SeekWin(vbNull, c, vbNull, vbNull) = 0
    hwdwin = SeekWin(vbNull, c, vbNull, vbNull)
    cnt = cnt + 1
    ReDim HwndList(cnt) As Long
    HwndList (cnt) = hwdwin
    c = hwdwin
  Loop
End Sub

But that retrieves all open windows. Do you know how to get ones only visible on the taskbar?

Hi Shark

You can use the IsWindowVisible API.

Option Explicit

Public Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowTextLength Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextLengthA" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function IsWindowVisible Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetWindowText Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String) As Long

Sub Main()
  Call EnumWindows(AddressOf p_EnumWindowsProc, 0)
End Sub
Public Function p_EnumWindowsProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
  Dim str_Data As String
  Dim lng_Length As Long
  
  If IsWindowVisible(hwnd) <> 0 Then
      lng_Length = GetWindowTextLength(hwnd) + 1
      If lng_Length > 1 Then
          str_Data = Space(lng_Length)
          Call GetWindowText(hwnd, str_Data, lng_Length)
          Debug.Print Left(str_Data, lng_Length - 1)
      End If
  End If
  
  p_EnumWindowsProc = 1
End Function

How can I use your example Escaflowne?
