How get window handle, which lose active status

[bomz]

When your application window change status to ACTIVE , how get window handle, which lose active status. I try WM_ACTIVE lParam, NextWindow function, EnumWindows and WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING but can't get handle

[sinsi]

If the low-order word of wParam is WA_ACTIVE or WA_CLICKACTIVE, lParam is the handle to the window being deactivated.

If yours is the window being activated then lParam has the other window handle.

in Theory yes, practically no.

If the low-order word of wParam is WA_ACTIVE or WA_CLICKACTIVE, lParam is the handle to the window being deactivated. This handle can be NULL.

This only work 

Code Select Expand

invoke ShowWindow,hWnd,SW_HIDE
invoke FindWindow,addr WorkerWClName,0
mov ebx, eax
invoke Sleep, 50
invoke GetForegroundWindow
mov esi, eax
.if ebx!=eax
invoke GetWindowText, esi, addr buffer1, 256
invoke MessageBox,0,addr buffer1,0,0
.endif
invoke ShowWindow,hWnd,SW_RESTORE
I hide my window , wait 50 milisec, and get foregroundwindow

lParam of WM_ACTIVATE always NULL

Code Select Expand

.ELSEIF uMsg == WM_ACTIVATE
mov eax, wParam
.if ax==WA_INACTIVE

.else
mov eax, lParam
.if eax!=0
mov PrevActiveWindHandle, eax
.endif
.endif

with sleep it is not very standby method

See if GetFocus(), SetFocus() and the matching 2 messages WM_KILLFOCUS and WM_SETFOCUS are any use to you.

I try it already - any success

and with Word this don't work. Word edit window is not Editclass

[bomz]

I make EnumChild window which find all windows with 'edit' style in foreground window. It's show that this 'edit' windows was found, but WM_CHAR WM_SETTEXT and WM_PASTE put text only in notepad. may be deal in WM_CHAR?
