getting window handle

[RandyRiegel]

Is there a way in .net to get a window handle or do I still need to use an API call? I'm need to determine if a window with a certain name exists and if it does activate it and send keystrokes to it. I've done similar in VB6 with API but figued 2005 had some better way to do it.

Every form has a handle. Just type form1.handle in the code editor and you will see it. It's of the type intptr.

I mean the handle of anothe window (non-VB related) such as notepad, etc.

Look at process and processes it will give you the handle of a certain process. However, if that process has mulitple windows it will only show give one handle.

Well, back to the drawing board. The window I'm looking for is created by Firefox. It's a login for our corporate firewall. I can only see the main Firefox process not the other windows.

Is there a way of going though every window no matter how they are started?
