Which thread has created this window? [modified]

[Joseph Marzbani]

How can I get the ID of a thread that has created a specific window? for clarification, see we have the handle of a window (e.g m_hWnd). Now for any reason, I'm gonna get the ID of the thread that has created this window. Please pay attention I mean a window from another application.

Thank you masters!

Is GetCurrentThreadId of any use???

Thanks, but I meant a window that belongs to another application than mine!

Thank you masters!

What exactly do you need - Process Id or Thread Id?

[Daniel Kanev]

I think this API should do the job - GetWindowThreadProcessId http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633522(VS.85).aspx[^] Please, tell me if it works for you :)

Thank you masters!
