Sending handle out of bool callback

This callback function is called when I press a button, but I wanted to pass the handle out of it to use it in another button or something else, and use openprocess out of it. How?
Thanks.

Code:

---

static BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProcb(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{

if (hwnd)
{
DWORD pid;
 
char windowname[1024];
GetWindowText(hwnd, windowname, 100);

if (strstr(windowname, "Untitled - Notepad"))
    {

                DWORD pidx;
                GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &pidx);
                if(pidx == lParam)
                {
                HANDLE hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_CREATE_THREAD | PROCESS_VM_READ | PROCESS_VM_OPERATION | PROCESS_VM_WRITE, FALSE, (DWORD) pid);
       

               
    }
       
  }

  return TRUE;
}

The answer is: lParam.

Ok but don't I need a function to send it out as I used EnumWindows() to send a lparam in?

What is "EnumWindowsProcb"?

If you mean "EnumWindowsProc", then that's what the second parameter to EnumWindowsProc is for.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=VS.85%29.aspx

Code:

---

HANDLE myHandle = NULL;
EnumWindows(whatever, (LPARAM)&myHandle);
//....

---

Code:

---

static BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProcb(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
//...
    HANDLE *pHandle = (HANDLE*)lParam;
    *pHandle = hProcess;
....

No you don't need any. And Paul kindly showed how the whole thing should look like.

I mean, I want to use hProcess out of the bool, the lparam I sent with enumwindows() is going to be used at the bool, but the variables I declare inside the bool can't be used out of it. Example:

Code:

---

EnumWindows(EnumWindowsProcb, NULL);

---

Code:

---

static BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProcb(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
DWORD pidx;
                GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &pidx);
}

---

Code:

---

void CAttachDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
AfxMessageBox(pidx);
}

---

Then I'll have 'pidx' : undeclared identifier

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

If you are saying that you want that variable set, then pass the entire object as the second parameter and store the value there in the EnumWindowProcb function.

Code:

---

class CAttachDlg
{
    HANDLE pidx;
    //...
    public:
          void SetMyHandle(HANDLE h) { pidx = h; }
//...
};

---

Code:

---

CAttachDlg dlg;
EnumWindows(EnumWindowsProcb, &dlg);

---

Code:

---

static BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProcb(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
    DWORD pidx;
    GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &pidx);
    CAttachDlg* pDlg = (CAttachDlg*)lParam;
    pDlg->SetMyHandle( pidx ); 
    //...
}

---

Code:

---

void CAttachDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
    AfxMessageBox(pidx);
}

I doubt you are interesting in accessing precisely a variable of the callback context. Your interest is the value of the variable, and this is where lParam gives you the pointer to the variable from original function context:

From Paul's example:

Code:

---

static BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProcb(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
//...
    HANDLE *pHandle = (HANDLE*)lParam;
    *pHandle = hProcess;        // here you copy the value of local variable hProcess
....

Thanks.
