Get Window Name As HEX/DEC?

[VBbbq]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve a Window Named [ test ] as a HEX, or DEC value in Visual Basic.

When Button1 is Clicked, TextBox1 Will Show The Window [ test ] as either a HEX or DEC value.

Code Example of FindWindow:

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

The Above May Or May Not Be Relevant To The Question..

If Anyone Can Provide An Example For Me, It Would Be Greatly Appreciated. Thanks

You make it sound like you are looking for the windows handle, but that's not quite clear. One point is whether the window in question is part of your program or part of some other program. Naturally, it is easier to solve this for a window in your program, but since you are showing an API function, it seems like you are probably looking for the windows handle of a different program.

Upon reading the question again, I realize that you may not be looking for an actual form, but just a control on a form.

I guess a bit more description would be good. In any case, if you are looking for the windows handle, then you have a reasonable API method to use (though not quite sufficient if you are looking for a control within a form), and the return can be turned into a string for display in a textbox as either hex or dec, as you wish.
