Weird Handle help

[ChimpFace9000]

Ok im making an app to go with netzero that will send messages to the ad bar so it will bot kick you off the net. Ive got it to where i can send the message, then the default web browser opens. Now i need to automaticly close that newly opened browser. Any ideas?

Do they always have something the same in the title bar? Like "Netzero Add" or something?

Nope, its different with every add. Is there some way to get the newest window that has opened?

Hmm you could keep a list of all the current window handles when your app starts, then with a timer continue to check for handles that is not part of the previous list, then send it your message when it finds one.

How do i get a list of all the window handles?

Here but its going to be in MFC, but I am sure you can weed that stuff out. It is right now set to search for every window with "Instant Message", just set it to be "" instead.


BOOL CALLBACK CFindWindows::SearchFor(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
char strBuffer[MAX_PATH]; //Buffer To Hold The Window Title
CString strComp; //The String The Holds The String To Find (Instant Message)
CString strFound; //Holds The Buffer String To Allow Searching
int ret = 0;

::GetWindowText(hWnd,strBuffer,MAX_PATH); //Gets Window Title On Each Enum

strFound = strBuffer; //Gets The Buffer String To Allow CString Searching

if (strFound == "") //If The String Is Empty Quit Function
return true;

strComp = "Instant Message"; //Sets The Search String
ret = strFound.Find(strComp,0); //Search For The Search String

if (!(ret == -1)) //If Search String Is Found
{
CFindWindows::InArray(hWnd);
}

return true;
}

void CFindWindows::StartFind()
{

CSendMessages tmp;

if (tmp.CheckTextOut() == true) //Insure That Message Text Is There
::EnumWindows(SearchFor,(LPARAM)this); //Enum Every Window

}

bool CFindWindows::InArray(HWND hWnd)
{

int ret; //Used To Hold The Array Size
int i; //Used For The For Loop
bool Found = false; //Used To Check If The Window Already Exists

ret = PreWindows.GetSize(); //Gets Array Size

if (ret == 0) //If Array = 0
{
PreWindows.Add(hWnd); //Add To The Array
Found = true; //Keep From Adding Again

CSendMessages tmp; //Sets tmp To CSendMessages Class

tmp.MsgOut(hWnd); //Runs The MsgOut Function
}
else
{
for (i=0; i < ret; i++) //Searchs The Array To Insure There Is No Repeating
{
if (PreWindows[i] == hWnd)
{
Found = true;
}
}
}

if (Found == false)
{
PreWindows.Add(hWnd);

CSendMessages tmp;

tmp.MsgOut(hWnd);
}

return true;

}
