Hi there I have 2 questions: - How can I know the handle ID of desktop window? - How can I launch calc, or mspaint applications from my code and if that applications are already opened to activate them? How to do this or where can I find such examples? I'm working on MFC.

Are you referring to

It really depends on how that particular application was coded. Some applications are coded such that they can only exist in memory one time. The first thing to try would be to use
CreateProcess()to run the application. The next thing to try would be to useFindWindow()to search for the application's window. If it is found, useBringWindowToTop()."Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman
