Does .Net provide any routines to list open windows?

Does .Net provide any routines to list open windows?

• Bruce VB

  It does as from .NET 2.0. Use Application.OpenForms.

  Thanks jelle, I'm learning while answering
  
  I tried your approach and can't make it show all the windows in my System; My bad, I haven't checked the documentation, it says, it's only to enumerate Windows owned by Application, not all windows:
  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.openforms.aspx
  
  Ok, I still used API calls to enumerate windows (I attached it to button1_Click event):
  
  

  private delegate bool EnumWindowsCallBack(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr lparam); [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)] private static extern bool EnumWindows(EnumWindowsCallBack callback, IntPtr lparam); [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)] private static extern int GetWindowText(IntPtr hwnd, StringBuilder lpString, int cch); private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {  EnumWindowsCallBack enumwinproc = new EnumWindowsCallBack(EnumarateWindows);  EnumWindows(enumwinproc, IntPtr.Zero);  GC.KeepAlive(enumwinproc); } private bool EnumarateWindows(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr lparam) {      StringBuilder sbWindowText = new StringBuilder(1024);      GetWindowText(hwnd, sbWindowText, 1024);      MessageBox.Show(hwnd.ToInt32().ToString("X") + ": Text = " + sbWindowText.ToString());      return true; }

  
  
  Once you've clicked the button, it will display all top-level windows
  
  Hope this helps,

  As far as I know, there's none in .NET that you can use to list windows, you still have to use P/Invoke API calls.
  
  Anyway, EnumWindows and/or FindWindow API are fairly easy to implement in .NET.
