FindWindow

[pawelu]

Hello,

I insert to startup program procedure this function:

Code: Select all  Expand view

HB_FUNC (STILLRUN)
{
   HWND hWnd;
   BOOL lRet = FALSE;

   hWnd = FindWindow (TEXT ("App Title"), NULL);
   if (hWnd)
   {
   SetForegroundWindow ((HWND) ((ULONG) hWnd |0x01));
   lRet = TRUE;
   } 
   hb_retl (lRet);
}


but this dosn't work. User can run apps several times. This same routine in pure C++ works fine (app is show in foreground).

Regards
Pawel

Pawel,

Have you tried this?

Code: Select all  Expand view

   if StillRun()
      Quit
   endif

Antonio,

Yes I try use it in start program like your sample, function always return False. I try change parameters (first is the name of class, second is the name of window) but no success.

The syntax is the other way around:

hWnd = FindWindow (NULL, TEXT ("App Title"));

What is TEXT()?

EMG

[pawelu]

Enrico,

TEXT () is window title.

Paweł

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

No, I did mean, what is function TEXT()?

EMG

[pawelu]

Enrico,

TEXT is macro declared as:

"#define TEXT(quote) L##quote"

Pawel

Yes, it is the equivalent to write L"hello". The C compiler generates a hello in unicode.

Hathal,

We do appreciate your contribution, but in order to keep FiveWin PC compatibility we should use a SET MULTIPLE ON|OFF xbase command.
