    few basic window questions

    hello all, I have a question.
    Does Windows Task Manager have a class id? When I use Spy++ I get "#32770 (Dialog)". Also Spy++ shows that window's HANDLE, is this handle an unique id that can be used for detecting window's? If so, whats a good function for finding a window hwnd via the HANDLE id?

    thanks & greets, apsync!

    If you're trying to get the handle to a different application's window why not use the FindWindow or FindWindowEx functions? Pretty easy compared to messing with the handle's ID. If that's not your goal specify exactly what you're trying to accomplish.
