Hi, does anyone know how to get a window handle (HWND) after being spawned
with "ShellExecuteEx".

I've tried several ways but none seems to work; the lastone was trying to
get the HWND trought the "ShExecInfo.hProcess" enumerating windows but seems
like I'm missing something (See code below).

May be If I can get the Window Text form the spawned windows trought one
member of the ShExecInfo retrieved by the call to ShellExecuteEx I could use
"FindWindow" to get the actual window handle.

Am I going in the right direction?

Any help would be appreciated...

Regards...

Here is the code:

Button1Click(TObject *Sender){
//...
// Variable declarations
//...
              //spawn application to open the document
               shExecInfo.cbSize=sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
               memset(&shExecInfo,0,sizeof(shExecInfo));
               shExecInfo.cbSize=sizeof(shExecInfo);
               shExecInfo.hwnd=Handle;
               shExecInfo.lpVerb="open";
               shExecInfo.lpFile=dataPtr->SystemString().c_str(); //dataPtr
is a pointer tu a structure (NodeInfo) that holds some info about the
spawned app, see the if(b_res) section.
               shExecInfo.nShow=SW_NORMAL;
               shExecInfo.fMask=SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
               b_res=ShellExecuteEx(&shExecInfo);
               if(b_res)
               {
                    dataPtr->HProcess(shExecInfo.hProcess);
                    dataPtr->HInstance(shExecInfo.hInstApp);
                    dataPtr->WindowHandle(LookForWindowHandle(dataPtr));
//this function returns nothing 'cause window enumeration finishes without
getting the handle
                    dataPtr->Active(true);
               }
}

HWND TMainForm::LookForWindowHandle(NodeInfo *node)
{
     if (!EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC)GetWinHandle,(LPARAM)node))
          return node->WindowHandle();
     else
          return 0;

          pInfo->WindowHandle(hwnd);
