 Posted: Sun May 08, 2011 6:25 am Post subject: Process Handle from Window Handle |
 |
|
There was an API to do this. I think it was introduced Vista+. I forgot it and can't find it again. It's been bugging me for a while now..
Btw I'm not referring to GetWindowThreadProcessId + OpenProcess. There was something that did both in one step :/

| I'm most likely wrong, but was it FindWindow or FindWindowEx?

Dreaming of WinAPI. Poor you :p Well, I agree it's not very wise to code before going to sleep, you'll have nightmares!
Anyway, here's a list of new APIs introduced with Windows Vista: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383874.aspx. I can't really spot anything related to this imaginary function of yours. You're sure you're not mixing it with eg. GetWindowLong which can retrieve HINSTANCE (which is no process handle)? Only three ways to get a process handle come to my mind: OpenProcess, CreateProcess and GetCurrentProcess (which doesn't return a real handle, use DuplicateHandle).

| that is not the point. that's also the wrong way to go about it. you should use getwindowthreadprocessid and then openprocess

Yep, i use it when the process got a visible window and is not hidden the process name.
And i had to guess it, I never should come here to annoy trying to help.
Excuse!...
