How can i get the handles of all the open windows?
Thanks in advance to any replies.

EnumWindows()

Here the code how to find window by part of it caption. Use wild card and it will find all the open windows

'---Bas module code------


Private Declare Function EnumWindows& Lib "user32" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, ByVal lParam As Long)
Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function IsWindowVisible& Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long)
Private Declare Function GetParent& Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long)
Dim sPattern As String, hFind As Long


Function EnumWinProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Dim k As Long, sName As String


If IsWindowVisible(hwnd) And GetParent(hwnd) = 0 Then
sName = Space$(128)
k = GetWindowText(hwnd, sName, 128)


If k > 0 Then
sName = Left$(sName, k)
If lParam = 0 Then sName = UCase(sName)


If sName Like sPattern Then
hFind = hwnd


EnumWinProc = 0
Exit Function
End If
End If
End If


EnumWinProc = 1
End Function


Public Function FindWindowWild(sWild As String, Optional bMatchCase As Boolean = True) As Long
sPattern = sWild
If Not bMatchCase Then sPattern = UCase(sPattern)


EnumWindows AddressOf EnumWinProc, bMatchCase
FindWindowWild = hFind
End Function


'----Using (Form code)----


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Debug.Print FindWindowWild("*Mi??OSoFt In[s-u]ernet*", False)
End Sub
