finding a window

[abdul]

How do get the hwnd of a window like notepad, internet explorer (even if the programs are not running)

Actually, I want to change the menu of ie. So I need the hwnd of ie even if it is running at that time or not.

Use the FindWindow API function.


Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim hWin As Long
hWin = FindWindow("IEFrame", vbNullString)
If hWin <> 0 Then
Msgbox "Window hwnd: " & hWin
Else
Msgbox "Window hwnd: " & hWin '0
End If

End Sub
