[RESOLVED] Application List

Hi, is there a way to go about getting the current running application list into a drop-down and/or text box menu.

What I want to do is make it so you can pick a running application and set it as a label value.

Thanks

Welcome to the forums. :wave:

Try this

vb Code:

'in a module
Public Declare Function IsWindowVisible Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
 
Public Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, _
ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
 
Public Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpString As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long
 
Public Const MAX_LEN = 260
 
Public Function EnumWinProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
    Dim lRet As Long
    Dim strBuffer As String
    
    If IsWindowVisible(hwnd) Then
        strBuffer = Space(MAX_LEN)
        lRet = GetWindowText(hwnd, strBuffer, Len(strBuffer))
        If lRet Then
            Form1.List1.AddItem Left(strBuffer & "  " & hwnd, lRet)
        End If
    End If
    
    EnumWinProc = 1
End Function
 
'on a form
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Call EnumWindows(AddressOf EnumWinProc, 0)
End Sub

Thanks so much, Big help

One more question how would I make it so when you click on an application in the list it sets the value of app.text to the application name?

Thanks again.
:)

Which app.name do you want ot change, the one from your application or the one from the application clicked in the list?

first one would be easy:

Code:

---

app.name = Form1.List1.List(Form1.List1.ListIndex)

---

I used

Code:

---

app.Text = Form1.List1.List(Form1.List1.ListIndex)

---

to set a text box value as an item I selected from the list.

Thanks for all the help.
