    it returns me 2222, i want to use tht value in my application to send a message to tht window, SendMessage( hwnd a, ...,...,...); how to do hwnd a = 2222;

    You can use this value as handle in SendMessage.

    :confused: How would you get handle , if there is no window ?

    Actually he can, if the app has the window hidden.

        Yes, But I was concerned about "if application does not have window" statement.

          As said earlier. You can use SendMessage. if you have handle to that window. No matter if its hidden.

            In fact, his words where a bit inaccurate. Anyway what he was asking was enough clear, at least to me...

                Mentioning SPY++ from start leads to confusion. You can look in to this[^] article, to see how to get windows handle. Alternatively, you can use FindWindow() , if you have title to window in question.

                  It was not clear, atleast for me ..:) I was assuming from start, he has way to get window handle. But he was asking for it in actual.

                      hi ok as guys are not able to understand what i am asking i will try to be specific run spy++ and in windows section(ctrl+w) you see different windows handel values, i want to use one of those value in my program and send a message to that particular window, defined by the window handel id, exm: in spy++ one appliction window has id 2222 i want to send message to 2222 window handel id how to do tht, as far i know u simply cant do like this HWND h=2222; my app for suppose there is xyz window or application, i query for HWND in Spy++, it returns me 2222, i want to use tht value in my application to send a message to tht window, SendMessage( hwnd a, ...,...,...); how to do hwnd a = 2222; any idea or suggestion, the basic doubt is how to use a handel value provided by spy++, if app does nt have a window or a hidden application or tray icon. -- modified at 17:10 Sunday 17th December, 2006
