searching window with API

[Joe Bob]

Hello again all!

Im having trouble finding the a window in WINDOWS98. I'm using VB5

Here's my problam>

There is a window called "AwtWindow" and it has no text. Let's call this window 1

There is another window called "AwtWindow" and it has no text. Let's call this window 2


Window 1 and Window 2 are diffrent programs.
When I try and find Window2, it finds window 1 first.

I closed window 1 and window 2 is found. But both windows(1 and 2) need to be open for it to work.

How do I find window 2 by skipping around window 1?

Get it??? LoL

Thanks

It is very easy to find all windows with the same class name (or Caption) using FindWindowEx API. Here is an example:

Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long


'------Put this on any event
    Dim lWindow As Long
    Dim iCount As Integer

    lWindow = FindWindowEx(0, 0, "AwtWindow", vbNullString)

    If lWindow Then
        Do While lWindow
            iCount = iCount + 1
            lWindow = FindWindowEx(0, lWindow, "AwtWindow", vbNullString)
        Loop
    End If
    MsgBox iCount & " windows found."

Assuming that AwtWindow is a class name.
