The best resource for API routines is the MSDN library, it is up to date, by definition, a book is out of date before it arrives in the shops. The most recommended book for API programming is Charles Petzolds "Programming Windows" fifth edition.

Well i checked the post and nothing that could help me ..
1) how would i find the handle to internet explorer so i can use showWindow() to hide and unhide it.
2) how can i read keystrokes when the focus isnt on my window.

From the other thread...
>>> One solution is FindWindow().

how will i use it like this
it dosnt seem to workCode:hwndiExplore = FindWindow("IEXPLORE", NULL );
IEXPLORE isnt the class name inorder to use findwindow and findwindowex u need the class name or window handle, if u are using m$vstudio ent there will be an app called spy++ which will give u the class name etc of the iexplore window i think its summin like IEFRAME (the only ones i ever use are for the notify icon area and start bar ^_^)
Yeah guys i used the FindWindow() function and it works fine .But know the problem is if there are 2 Iexplore window its gives u the handle to the first one opened .Is there any function to get the hadles with using the same class name.
I saw VB can use this function for that FindWindowLike() ...
Ah another problem when i try setBKColor () or setTextColor)( it says the function dont exist why is it that??
There's a way to fetch all top window handles and see if they belong to a specific class; look into EnumWindows() and GetClassName().Originally posted by datainjector
