Obtaining the handle of a console window

[Vortex]

Based on this MS article, I coded a function to retrieve the handle of a console window :

Code Select Expand


; Reference :
; How To Obtain a Console Window Handle (HWND)
; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/124103

include GetConsHandle.inc

BUFFER_SIZE = 256

.data

TitleFormat1  db '%d-%d',0

.code

GetConsHandle PROC USES esi

LOCAL szConsTitle[BUFFER_SIZE]:BYTE
LOCAL buffer[BUFFER_SIZE]:BYTE

    lea     esi,[buffer]
    invoke  GetConsoleTitle,ADDR szConsTitle,BUFFER_SIZE

    invoke  GetCurrentProcessId
    push    eax
    invoke  GetTickCount
    push    eax
    push    OFFSET TitleFormat1
    push    esi
    call    wsprintf
    add     esp,4*4

    invoke  SetConsoleTitle,esi
    invoke  Sleep,50
    invoke  FindWindow,0,esi
    mov     esi,eax
   
    invoke  SetConsoleTitle,ADDR szConsTitle
    mov     eax,esi
    ret

GetConsHandle ENDP

END

Windows 2000 and the successor operating systems are providing the GetConsoleWindow API function to obtain the console window handle.
