FindWindow() function for windows example

[codyj110]

Ok so I had to do a little fiddling around with this function and noticed almost no were on the internet is there a good example of working code.



#include <windows.h>
#include <winuser.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

HWND hWnd = FindWindow(L"SciCalc",0);

SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);

}


SciCalc is the classname of windows calculator. To find the class name of a window download WinSpy++. You will need to add L in front of any string you want to use in arguments.

Of course, posting this in a Linux forum gives it the visibility it merits with Windows developers :)

Wow? (Why On Windows?)
