How to enumerate all windows belonging to a particular process using .NET?
How i can find all the windows created by a particular process using c#?
UPDATE
i need enumerate all the windows belonging to an particular process using the PID (process ID) of the an application.
Solution 1:
delegate bool EnumThreadDelegate(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr lParam);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern bool EnumThreadWindows(int dwThreadId, EnumThreadDelegate lpfn,
IntPtr lParam);
static IEnumerable<IntPtr> EnumerateProcessWindowHandles(int processId)
{
var handles = new List<IntPtr>();
foreach (ProcessThread thread in Process.GetProcessById(processId).Threads)
EnumThreadWindows(thread.Id,
(hWnd, lParam) => { handles.Add(hWnd); return true; }, IntPtr.Zero);
return handles;
}
and sample usage:
private const uint WM_GETTEXT = 0x000D;
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, int wParam,
StringBuilder lParam);
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
foreach (var handle in EnumerateProcessWindowHandles(
Process.GetProcessesByName("explorer").First().Id))
{
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder(1000);
SendMessage(handle, WM_GETTEXT, message.Capacity, message);
Console.WriteLine(message);
}
}
Solution 2:
Use the Win32 API EnumWindows (if you want child windows EnumChildWindows)), or alternatively you can use EnumThreadWindows .
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true)]
public static extern bool EnumWindows(EnumThreadWindowsCallback callback, IntPtr extraData);
Then check which process each window belongs to by using the Win32 API GetWindowThreadProcessId
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true)]
public static extern int GetWindowThreadProcessId(HandleRef handle, out int processId);
