How can I get a list or preferably an array of active HWNDs and also how do I get window name by HWND?

Use EnumWindows() to enumerate all the windows and to get the window name just use GetWindowText().

here you go void ma boi i know how you like your copypasta : )

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <tchar.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <conio.h>

BOOL CALLBACK EnumFunc (HWND, LPARAM);

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
EnumWindows( (WNDENUMPROC)&EnumFunc, 0 );

while( !_kbhit() )
Sleep(100);

return 0;
}

BOOL CALLBACK EnumFunc( HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam )
{
TCHAR szString[256];

ZeroMemory( szString, sizeof(szString) );
if ( GetWindowText( hWnd, (LPWSTR)&szString, 256 ) )
{
wprintf( szString );
wprintf(L"\n");
}

return true;
}

Why are you including the iostream library without using any of it? Also don't include the whole std namespace, if you're not going to use all of it. I would prefer you typedefing the function instead of including the whole namespace.

Also... allocating memory in a callback without deleting it is... inefficient ;]

If we're using C++, we might as well use new and delete operators. Yo.

Code:

while( !_kbhit() )
Sleep(100);

Mmm... stick to one header please. We use

Code:

_gettchar

in this bitch.

I only copypasta top notch snippets, yo.

i converted and simplified one of my old apps where i was using cout instead and forgot to take out the include. i think this was my second app after hello world originally.. in fact the existence of non-used includes makes no difference after generation. i mean it might take.. a few nanoseconds for the compiler to decide the code does not require that header, however after compilation the generated .exe is the same

in fact i was coding C style just in visual studio C++ but unfortunately it only lets me make .cpp files

if you're too incompetent to code the function yourself then you're going to have to make do with other people's half assed attempts. to be honest with you, you have no right to try to critique others' code when you are having problems with something that i did in less than 10 lines of actual code

as for 'allocating memory' without deleting it.. i'm afraid you have dynamic memory allocation mixed up with local variables. local variables you see, are created on the stack and they are gotten rid of when a value is added to the end of the procedure to ESP. this is called callee stack cleanup. you can learn what stack cleanup means here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_calling_conventions#Caller_clean-up

as for new/delete, yes you COULD use it but i thought it'd be better not to confuse you so i tried to make it as simple as possible, i'll add a version with comments if you like. on top of that, i'll repeat that i was coding C style

in fact though, the overhead for the new/delete is not necessarily going to save you many clock cycles since as i said before we are not really 'allocating' memory when we create a local variable. it's quite hard to explain but as you get more experienced you'll find it easier to understand

btw if you want to learn what a clock cycle is, there is a definition here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycles_Per_Instruction

_gettchar is not the same as _kbhit. that is to say they have two different functions

you might want to google yourself for this one, i don't think it'll be as hard to find as the definition for clock cycle, good luck. do come back if you have trouble finding out though

Excuses excuses... Rolling Eyes
