WINDOW API VBA WINDOWS
Go back to the Windows API Guide home page. This page is copyright © 2000 Paul Kuliniewicz. Function IsTopLevelWindow returns True if the. If the target string is in the windows text, minimize, maximize, or restore it using the SetWindowPlacement API function. If it is, use WindowText to get the windows text. Use IsTopLevelWindow to see if the window is a top level window. Go back to the alphabetical Function listing. Use the GetWindow API function to list the systems windows. ' The next three lines flags the window once. If next 0 Then ' don't try to flags if no such window exists Next = GetWindow(Form1.hWnd, GW_HWNDNEXT) ' get the handle of the next window ' Flash the application's window that is below Form1 in the Z-orderĭim next As Long ' receives handle of next window in the Z-orderĭim retval As Long ' return value for flashing the window This has the same effect as using the GetTopWindow function. GW_CHILD = 5 The topmost of the given window's child windows. GW_OWNER = 4 The window that owns the given window (not to be confused with the parent window). GW_HWNDPREV = 3 The window above the given window in the Z-order. GW_HWNDNEXT = 2 The window below the given window in the Z-order. GW_HWNDLAST = 1 The lowest window in the Z-order having the same parent as the given window. My best guess would be that the Quick Analysis or Screen Animations have something to do with it. GW_HWNDFIRST = 0 The highest window in the Z-order having the same parent as the given window. You can use Windows API calls in VBA to determine the window state and cursor position. However, GetWindowText cannot retrieve the text of a control in another application, If the target window is owned by the current process, GetWindowText causes a WMGETTEXT message to be sent to the specified window or control. If the specified window is a control, the text of the control is copied. WCmd Exactly one of the following flags specifying which relationship the returned window has to the given window: Copies the text of the specified windows title bar (if it has one) into a buffer. Hwnd The handle of the first window in the relation. If an error occurs or there is no window having the specified relation, the function instead returns 0. The relations generally deal with child-parent relationships or relationships among children of the same parent window. GetWindow returns the handle of a window related to a given window.
