Finding a Window

[WizardOfPeyton]

Does C# and or .NET provide a function similiar to the WinAPI FindWindow or FindWindowEx methods?

[Stephane Rodriguez]

If you simply lookup this forum, you'll probably find a dozen answers for this question. Beyond that, why should there be anything like xxxWindow method or function call in the .NET API ? Have you heard or read about the "window" term in the .NET doc ? Answer : windows are hidden behind the FCL. You've got to get used to work without explicit windows.

The original question was .Does C# and or .NET provide a function similiar to the WinAPI FindWindow or FindWindowEx methods?: He was not looking for an exact one to one match. Your reply was both rude and unhelpful.:mad: X|

Yes he does understand English, and he does know what he is talking about. I posted the original message. I also thought you reply was in bad taste. I am attempting to 'hook' into another applications messsage queue, similiar to what spy++ does but from within the .net framework.

Wise words from someone whose contribution totals 5 messages. You must be kidding.

Stephane, I think you would get along quite well with Mr Maddox at http://maddox.xmission.com[^]:-D Be warned, this will take at least an hour of your life away.

You should look at Eric Gunnerson's Win32Window class on GotDotNet. I think it has what you're looking for. http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/csharp/code/default.aspx[^]

Looks like this simple sentence is way too complex to catch for some people (who by the way can't manage to use the Cp search engine either).[/edit]

There's a class here: http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/csharp/code/default.aspx That probably does what you want.
