Does anyone know how to get the handles of the programs which are currently visible? I know about the EnumWindows() function, but this one gives me alot of window handles, including handles to windows that aren't visible.
I guess one way to get handles to visible windows is to test wether ShowWindow(hwnd,SW_SHOW) has been called for a specific window, but I also don't know what function I could use for that purpose.
Thanks in advance

Ah thanks alot!
Is there a way to determine which of the visible windows are the actual visible ones (when looking directly at the screen you would only see the windows at the very top and those that are not obscurred from view by other windows). Basically trying to figure out the most currently active window, followed by the windows that were more recently active. Using GetWindowRect() I could determine which parts of each window would be visible based on the knowledge of which windows were the most currently active. Not sure if this is possible, but who knows. Just a side thought when I read this post.
