All window handle from point
-
hi, how can i get all the windows handle from a point? For example if in (100,100) i have two windows overlapped, i want to get the handle of the topmost window and the handle of the other window.

WindowFromPoint, ChildWindowFromPointEx. For windows under windows, you'll have to EnumWindows and do your own hit testing.

Use
EnumWindowsto enumerate the windows. UseGetWindowRectto get the rectangle of the window. Then usePtInRectto check if the point of interest lies within the window rectangle.«_Superman_» _I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.

Additionally to what the others have said, the "get the rectangle and check if the point is inside it" method might not work with non-rectangular windows (layered windows with per-pixel alpha (see here[^]) or windows with a non-rectangular window region (see here[^]). I wonder if sending these kinds of windows the WM_NCHITTEST[^] message could tell you if the point is on the window or not.

That's what RealChildWindowFromPoint handles.
