The archive contains classes that can be used to enumerate and/or find windows using their titles, class names or handles.
The Helper.GetWindows() function takes one parameter, a window expression string, representing the window or controls' hierarchy.
For instance,
*[@c=IEFrame]/*[@c=WorkerW]/*[@c=ReBarWindow32]/*[@c=ComboBoxEx32]
can be used to obtain all Internet Explorer (6.*) windows' URLs.
Extended usage is available in the "Expressions (Usage).txt" file.
Code is compatible with both .NET Framework v1.* and v2.0; however, the sample solution file is created using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
Current ToDo's:
- Implement starting the search from a non-top-level window.
- Implement obtaining handles to all child windows.
This is a work in progress, therefore I intend to develop these classes so that they can be used to manipulate windows, as well.
