Win32 API Topmost Window

[johnbuckley]

Can anyone give me the code to return the handle of the topmost window that is running in windows please?

Thanks

GetForegroundWindow
function returns the handle of the foreground window (the window with which the user is currently working).

declare integer GetForegroundWindow in win32api Attitude is Everything

This might also do it:

Retrieves a handle to the top-level window whose class name and window name match the specified strings.


DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN user32;
STRING lpClassName,;
STRING lpWindowName

Sorry but I can't make this work. What is wrong with the following code please?

DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN user32;
STRING lpClassName,;
STRING lpWindowName

nHandle=FindWindow('VFP.Application','Mywindow')

This returns 0 even though a vfp application window 'Mywindow' is showing on the screen.

nHandle=FindWindow(.NULL.,'Mywindow')
Attitude is Everything

It works!

Thank you all
