I want to detect currently opened swf file name. Here is my code:
Private Const GW_HWNDNEXT = 2
Private Declare Function GetWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wCmd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Private Declare Function GetClassName Lib "user32" Alias "GetClassNameA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal nMaxCount As Long) 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 Sub Form_Load()
ListWins "*.swf*"
End Sub
Sub ListWins(Optional Title = "*", Optional Class = "*")
Dim hWndThis As Long
hWndThis = FindWindow(vbNullString, vbNullString)
While hWndThis
Dim sTitle As String, sClass As String
sTitle = Space$(255)
sTitle = Left$(sTitle, GetWindowText(hWndThis, sTitle, Len(sTitle)))
sClass = Space$(255)
sClass = Left$(sClass, GetClassName(hWndThis, sClass, Len(sClass)))
If sTitle Like Title And sClass Like Class Then
Debug.Print sTitle, sClass
List1.AddItem (sTitle)
End If
hWndThis = GetWindow(hWndThis, GW_HWNDNEXT)
Wend
End Sub
This code is working fine to detect *.doc, *.xls files name, but not working on *.swf files.
NOTE
I have tested it in VBA. I am sure it will work in VB6 as well.
Try this (Paste this code in a module and run the Sub Sample)
Private Declare Function GetWindowTextLength Lib "user32" Alias _
"GetWindowTextLengthA" (ByVal HWnd As Long) 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 GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
Public Declare Function EnumChildWindows Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hWndParent As Long, ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Public Function APIWindowCaption(ByVal HWnd As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Static winnum As Integer
Dim MyStr As String
winnum = winnum + 1
MyStr = String(GetWindowTextLength(HWnd) + 1, Chr$(0))
GetWindowText HWnd, MyStr, Len(MyStr)
'~~> This will give you the caption of the window
If InStr(1, MyStr, ".swf", vbTextCompare) Then Debug.Print MyStr
APIWindowCaption = 1
End Function
Sub Sample()
Dim retval As Long, DesktophWnd As Long
DesktophWnd = GetDesktopWindow
retval = EnumChildWindows(DesktophWnd, AddressOf APIWindowCaption, ByVal 0&)
End Sub

I'd like to convert VBA macro to Google Apps script but I think this particular one is impossible to convert as I am totally lost where to begin with this. I couldn't find anyway to do what "findwindow" does on APP script. Does anyone have any idea how to tackle this or should I give up on this?
Plus, is there anyone played with the phone companion? As they don't provide any API, the only way to use the mobile companion to send messages with google spread would be using findwindow, which shows the same problem. Any insight on this would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I am working in a restricted environment so I cant add any Adobe dll as reference, also the file which i am looking for is not yet saved in any folder.
Please share your suggestions.
Thank You
I have found a previous thread that shows how to get all open windows and their names using C# : get the titles of all open windows
However, I need to do this in VBA: does anyone know if that's possible?
Thank you so much.

Hi I want to ask if is it possible to have MsgBox without any buttons only with my message? Maybe is another way to display messages to user without using MsgBox?
I usually do not answer question which do not show enough research but this is way beyond a normal user.
Is it possible to have MsgBox without any buttons only with my message?
Msgbox doesn't give you an option to hide it. But we can bypass by subclassing the Excel Application and the Message Box.
Is another way to display messages to user without using MsgBox?
Yes you have two alternatives
Use a customized userform OR
Subclassing as I have shown below

I am using the ROT to find any active MSWord instances. In some versions of word the document does not get registered in the table, instead it is registered as the NORMAL template and so I can not find the document by it's title as documented by microsoft. Anyone know of a hotfix for this?
Is FindWindowPartial API any use to you? It will allow you to search for windows with Microsoft Word in the title.
