Answer 1

Hi Lukewig,
You are right they must be opened some where in my system,
but the list it gives me is too long. Here i am giving you what i
write to get window list in BuddyAPI:
wlist = baWindowList("","", false)
put wlist
[395282, 395284, 4064222, 15598522, 4915774, 65688, 4129430,
65670, 196682, 131192, 65672, 196680, 196678, 393684, 196664,
3539406, 3998288, 5243462, 1835468, 918128, 1573928, 1115364,
3736526, 1639216, 1704724, 2425724, 9175970, 1639010, 65676,
.............., 65674]
After getting this list i use the following code to get the
window captions:
wlist = baWindowList("","", false)
put wlist
repeat with aWindow in wList
if baWindowInfo(aWindow,"title")="" then next repeat
put baWindowInfo(aWindow, "title")
end repeat
--Which gives me:
[65670, 131192, 196682, 65672, 196680, 196678, 393684,
196664, 395282, 395284, 4064222, 15598522, 4915774, 65688, 4129430,
3539406, 3998288, 5243462, 1835468, 918128, 1573928, 1115364,
3736526, 1639216, 1704724, 2425724, 9175970, 1639010, 65676,
1443022, ............, 65674]

You see, how long the list is and what if i now go to detect
windows from my selected list, it off course will take a lot of
memory resources.
Well, besides this i also give a try to mcProFusion to do the
same:
profusion xtra result
program=mcWindowGetList()
put program
-- "list - Director MX 2004
Buddy API
Messages.log - Notepad
Untitled - Notepad
Buddy API Pricing - Microsoft Internet Explorer
Adobe - Lingo - Mozilla Firefox
RealPlayer: 01 - Chand Sifarish - ApniISP.Com
xtras
wndxtra
Program Manager
And this is giving me a short of only those windows which are
presently running on a user system and which a user can see as
well.
So, can you tell me any way to use this buddyAPI to get a
short list of only viewable/presently running window's captions ??
Thanks a lot anyways.
