Search a particular Window from an incomplete windows title

Emili #1 / 5	Search a particular Window from an incomplete windows title Good evening, my question is Suppose I have a window (Internet Explorer for example) with title: "Youtube - Queen - The show must go on". If I use API findwindow() I have to give in input the exact windows title to find it, right? Can I make a query to find it starting from a partial name? For example, if i have the string "Youtube" can i equally find that window? Thank you so much. Emilio.

The documentation does not specifically state whether a complete match will be performed or not, but I would guess it is. More than likely you're going to have to use the EnumDesktopWindows() function and then search the window title yourself. I don't see that particular function on Randy's site, but there is something similar: http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/enums/enumwindowsdemo.htm

That API function is only if you want to get the windows on a particular desktop (an advanced topic). I was overthinking this. Use Randy's sample.
