Locating an existing application/window via Javascript

[Rock6431]

I am rather skilled at VB and enumerate the windows on the screen looking at either the class or caption to locate another applications window handle. Using the handle I can give that application focus and work via automation.

I have been searching various Java related websites in hope of finding a similar example of how to do this in Java. Anyone have something similar to what I am needing in Java?

Thanks in advance.

hi Mike,

i don't think this is possible in js...references to windows are only kept per window instance, and only if you create them, meaning you can only reference your current window and any you make from it (using open() during the parent window's lifetime. if you refresh the parent window, all references are reset.

=========================================================
if (!succeed) try();

It's true...can't be done. What you are trying is an example of why MS in so open for viruses. That is why Javascript prohibits access.
