How to get the PID of the process itself ?

[butsefal]

Hello,
Could anyone please answer me a simple question ...
How to get the process ID of the VB application itself when it is started
(I need to use it for some timing problems) ? I can enumerate all
Windows and find it by name, but there is probably a simpler method.

Actually one more question: How to get a handle to a system window
by its Class Name ? There is always a system window associated with
Clipboard, its Class Name: CLIPBRDWNDCLASS. How to get a handle to it ?

I am able to do that first copying something to the clipboard and than call :
GetClipboardOwner(), but I need to get a handle to it before copying.
Is it possible ? When I enumerated all Desktop children, this system window is
not shown in the list.

for the pID question, use GetCurrentProcessId

Thanks a lot, I knew that it should be simple

As for my second question, of course, I could use
FindWindow(CLIPBRDWNDCLASS), but it gives a different handle than
I retrieve using Copy method.
It seems that there is more than one system window with such Class Name ...
How to enumerate them ?

well i'm not really sure if that will solve your problem, but you could enumerate them using FindWindowEx:

Dim lhWnd As Long
 
Do
    lhWnd = FindWindowEx(0&, lhWnd, "CLIPBRDWNDCLASS", vbNullString)
    If lhWnd Then Debug.Print lhWnd
Loop While lhWnd
