I've build a function that returns the handle to a window who's caption
starts with the String passed to it (see code below). The problem I'm
having is that when I call it a second time, say in a loop, it throws an
EAccessViolation. Any thoughts?
HWND TfrmMain::FindWindowLike(String strWinText)
{
HWND hWindow; //Window handle
char *ptr_chrTitle = ""; //Window title
hWindow = FindWindow(NULL, NULL); //Start with the first window
do
{
SendMessage(hWindow, WM_GETTEXT, GetWindowTextLength(hWindow) + 1,
(LPARAM)ptr_chrTitle); //Get the window's caption
if (static_cast<String>(ptr_chrTitle).Pos(strWinText) == 1) //Matches!
"Visual SourceSafe Explorer --..."
return hWindow; //Return the handle
else
hWindow = GetNextWindow(hWindow, GW_HWNDNEXT); //Get the handle to the
next window
} while (hWindow != NULL); //Search until we run out of windows
return hWindow; //Return the handle
}
