Method wnd.findAll

Overload

Finds all matching windows.

public static wnd[] findAll(string name = null, string cn = null, WOwner of = default, WFlags flags = 0, Func<wnd, bool> also = null, WContains contains = default)

Parameters

name (string)

Window name. Usually it is the title bar text. String format: wildcard expression. null means "can be any". "" means "no name".

cn (string)

Window class name. String format: wildcard expression. null means "can be any". Cannot be "".

of (WOwner)

Owner window, program or thread. Depends on argument type:

wnd - owner window. Will use wnd.IsOwnedBy with level 2.
string - program file name, like "notepad.exe". String format: wildcard expression. Cannot be "" or path.
WOwner - WOwner.Process(process id), WOwner.Thread(thread id).

See wnd.getwnd.Owner, wnd.ProcessId, process.thisProcessId, wnd.ThreadId, process.thisThreadId.

flags (WFlags)

also (Func<wnd, bool>)

Callback function. Called for each matching window. It can evaluate more properties of the window and return true when they match. Example: also: t => !t.IsPopupWindow. Called after evaluating all other parameters except contains.

contains (WContains)

Defines an object that must be in the client area of the window:

UI element: elmFinder or string like "name" or "e 'role' name" or "e 'role'".
Child control: wndChildFinder or string like "c 'cn' name" or "c '' name" or "c 'cn'".
Image(s) or color(s): uiimageFinder or string "image:..." (uses a uiimageFinder with flag IFFlags.WindowDC).
OCR text: ocrFinder or string "ocr:..." (uses an ocrFinder with flag OcrFlags.WindowDC).

Returns

wnd[]

Array containing zero or more wnd.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

cn is "". To match any, use null.
of is "" or 0 or contains character '\\' or '/'. To match any, use null.
Invalid wildcard expression ("**options " or regular expression).

Remarks

The list is sorted to match the Z order, however hidden windows (when using WFlags.HiddenToo) and IME windows are always after visible windows.
