First I would like to thank LessBread and Oluseyi for their seemingly unending patience!! Anyhow, Dorix that was an excellent idea. I was thinking along the same lines while taking a shower and figured that if EnumWindows was indeed counting the desktop not to mention the other stuff (icons, taskbar, etc) as windows to be enumerated, then that would definitely "skew" my paradigm of EnumWindows(). I will look into this possibility and write concerning what I found. Once again good idea!!
No problem from me Bolt
As long as you learn something, that''s all that matters. A year from now I expect to see you helping other people One thing to note about EnumWindows, in case you aren''t aware. The docs say that it enumerates all "top-level" windows. That doesn''t mean "windows that ride on top" or windows that you can see or might be able to see. A "top-level" window, is a window that might have child windows, but isn''t a child of any other window other than the desktop. To get a feel for the dozens of top-level windows currently present on your machine - head over to http://www.catch22.uk.net and grab a copy of WinSpy. The pop out right panel will show you every single window - top-level windows and their children - currently present on your machine.
