How do I display open IE tabs as DWM thumbnails?

Question

I am building a WPF application in C# and I want to display thumbnails of open IE tabs in a listbox. I\'m essentially trying to duplicate the DWM functionality in Windows 7.

Answer 1

This code enumerates window handles that correspond to IE thumbnails and can be used as the hwndSource parameter of the DwmRegisterThumbnail function

public static IEnumerable EnumerateIEDwmThumbnails()
{
    List ptrs = new List();
    StringBuilder cls = new StringBuilder(100);
    EnumWindows((hwnd, lparam) =>
    {
        GetClassName(hwnd, cls, cls.Capacity);
        if (cls.ToString() == "TabThumbnailWindow")
        {
            ptrs.Add(hwnd);
        }
        return true;
    }, IntPtr.Zero);
    return ptrs;
}

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern bool EnumWindows(EnumWindowsCallback lpEnumFunc, IntPtr lParam);
private delegate bool EnumWindowsCallback(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr lParam);

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern int GetClassName(IntPtr hWnd, StringBuilder lpClassName, int nMaxCount);
