I refuse your demand! I will however point you in the right direction... (OK, *a* direction). A B.E. in information technology can surely read documentation for the details. You can use
GetDesktopWindowto get the, um, desktop window. Then eitherGetWindowwith parametersGW_CHILDorGW_NEXT. You can check with functions such as IsWindowVisible etc to filter out various states. Alternately, you could useEnumChildWindowsto do some of the work for you, at the expense of writing a second function. Iain.CPallini no longer cares if Iain Clarke appears or not. /sad

Who did tell you it? He cares for sure. :-D

This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke -

Iain Clarke appears because CPallini still cares.

Here's a start:
// VanillaConsole.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProc(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
int len = GetWindowTextLength(hWnd);
if (len == 0 )
{
return true;
}
LPTSTR pText = static_cast<LPTSTR>(_alloca((len+1)*sizeof(TCHAR)));
GetWindowText(hWnd, pText, len+1);
cout << pText << endl;
return true;
}
int main()
{
EnumWindows(&EnumWindowsProc, 0);
return 0;
