.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / April 2007EnumWindows, how to identify windows
I can return a list of windows and their titles using the API, AddressOf & Callbacks, however I get all programs/processes like GDI+, DDE Server, etc. I really just want the programs opened in the taskbar, such as Outlook, Query Analyzer (whatever)...How can I fliter the list? I was hoping to use this, but if there is another method I'd like to know. Private Declare Function IsWindowVisible Lib "user32" _ (ByVal hwnd As IntPtr) As Long This returns such things as: 8975933078237085696 8975933078237085697 8975933078237085697 8975933078237085696 8975933078237085696 8975933078237085697 Incidently, the ones ending in 97 are 'user program windows' if you will. Thanks... >How can I fliter the list? You can find some details about how the taskbar does its selection under the Managing Taskbar Buttons section here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969325.aspx You basically have to do the same. Look at the window style bits etc. >I was hoping to use this, but if there is another method I'd like to >know.

Thank you Mattias, that was helpful. Changing the function to return Boolean allowed me to test against it and filter out the unwanted processes from the user programs. Steve
