How to locate the window using findwindow function in windowapi using vba?

问题

I am currently trying to find a way to check whether a window is open or not using Findwindow Function. I am able to find the window if i know the entire name of the window. In the below code i know that the name of the window is "win32api - Notepad" so i can easily find the window however i want to know whether it is possible to identify the window if i know only part name like "win32*".

Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Sub runapplication()


hwnd = FindWindow(vbNullString, "win32api - Notepad")
MsgBox (hwnd)
End Sub

One way you can do this is with the EnumWindows API function. Since it operates via a callback function, you'll need to cache both the criteria and the results somewhere that has scope beyond the calling function:

Public Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, _
                                                  ByVal param As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function IsWindowVisible Lib "User32" (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" _
                                                 (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
                                                  ByVal lpString As String, _
                                                  ByVal cch As Long) As Long
Public Const MAX_LEN = 260

Public results As Dictionary
Public criteria As String

Public Sub Example()
    criteria = "win32*"
    Set results = New Dictionary
    Call EnumWindows(AddressOf EnumWindowCallback, &H0)
    Dim result As Variant
    For Each result In results.Keys
        Debug.Print result & " - " & results(result)
    Next result
End Sub

Public Function EnumWindowCallback(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal param As Long) As Long
    Dim retValue As Long
    Dim buffer As String       
    If IsWindowVisible(hwnd) Then
        buffer = Space$(MAX_LEN)
        retValue = GetWindowText(hwnd, buffer, Len(buffer))
        If retValue Then
            If buffer Like criteria Then
                results.Add hwnd, Left$(buffer, retValue)
            End If
        End If
    End If
    EnumWindowCallback = 1
End Function

The below code worked for me. Just Declared IsWindowVisible Function and Added Microsoft scripting runtime library to my project.

Public Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "User32" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, _
                                                  ByVal param As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "User32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" _
                                                 (ByVal hWnd As Long, _
                                                  ByVal lpString As String, _
                                                  ByVal cch As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function IsWindowVisible Lib "User32" (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
Public Const MAX_LEN = 260

Public results As Dictionary
Public criteria As String

Public Sub Example()
    criteria = "win32"
    Set results = New Dictionary
    Call EnumWindows(AddressOf EnumWindowCallback, &H0)
    Dim result As Variant
    For Each result In results.Keys
        Debug.Print result & " - " & results(result)
    Next result
End Sub

Public Function EnumWindowCallback(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal param As Long) As Long
    Dim retValue As Long
    Dim buffer As String
    If IsWindowVisible(hWnd) Then
        buffer = Space$(MAX_LEN)
        retValue = GetWindowText(hWnd, buffer, Len(buffer))
        If retValue Then

            If InStr(1, buffer, criteria, vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
                results.Add hWnd, Left$(buffer, retValue)
            End If
        End If
    End If
    EnumWindowCallback = 1
End Function
