Hi folks,

        How can I detect (under VB5.0) if a specific window of an other 16bit or
32bit   program has been opened by the user.

Thanks for helps

Yves

Hi Yves,

you can use the API function FindWindow.

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal
lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function GetClassName Lib "user32" Alias "GetClassNameA"
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal nMaxCount As Long)
As Long

' If you know the exact Windowstitle
hwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "WinTitle")

' If you know the Classname
hwnd = FindWindow("classname", vbNullString)

Hope this helps...

You can FindWindow using the WindowClass instead.
Use a "Spy" application to find out the class of a window.

I think the Knowledge Base (see .sig) has an article on this. Searching
for partial, window, and title (or caption) should find it (I'm at home
right now, and can't look it up, sorry...)
