Do we have WinGetClass in MASM ?

[hfheatherfox07]

It seems to do as the previous example you had ...
I think I want to make it with an open file so I can open a file and display it's info

[dedndave]

try it on several windows
it should give the full path, usually   :P

what OS are you using ?
may have to diddle with the OpenProcess access rights flags

Windows XP .....

ya that is what it does for me but I do not need that

[dedndave]

ok - i will go center a window - something i can handle   :bg

[hfheatherfox07]

LOL I meant I do not need to show the paths

[dedndave]

ohhhhhhhh
well - it's easy to strip the path off
start at the end of the string and work backwards

stop when:
1) you find a backslash
2) you find a colon
3) you get to the start of the string

i am guessing you are only interested in top-level windows
no need to go through all the child windows

so - you'd use EnumWindows
for each hwnd, call GetWindowThreadProcessId
that will get you the PID
call OpenProcess with the SYNCHRONIZE access flag
that will get you a handle to the process
call GetModuleFileNameEx to get the filename
use CloseHandle to close the process handle when you are done

I treid fro two days I think something is wrong becuase I keep enumerating all the windows and not the file that I want .... I wander if there is a need for enumerate proc or just "INVOKE  GetClassName,FileHandle,addr lpClassName,64"
Also I noticed that the file needs to be runing ... I tried Execute Window ...but no luck .... I tried a hook .... here are my attempts  ...
I also found some examples that might have some useful ideas in it

[hfheatherfox07]

Google "INVOKE  GetClassName,FileHandle,addr lpClassName,64"

For obvious reasons I don't think I can post this here ...but the first result has an example that has this in it :

Code Select Expand

call    GetForegroundWindow; get handle for currently used window ( specific to NT and after )
    cmp    [hCurrentWindow], eax; if its not different to last one saved..
    je    no_window_change    ; bypass all the headings

    mov    [hCurrentWindow], eax; save it for use now and compare later

        push     64        ; get the class name
        lea     esi, [lpClassName]
        push     esi
        push     [hCurrentWindow]
        call     GetClassName

would this work?

This thread is a bit confusing: what are you exactly trying to work out?
Why you can't simply use FindWindowEx()?

If you look at my attachment 2nd post up ...I am trying to make a tool that gets a "windows class name" and "window name"

I am trying to make a tool that gets a "windows class name" and "window name"

ok - so you have the window handle thus you can use GetClassName() and GetWindowText() - where is the problem?

For you .....
I am not that good yet ... I thought I got the window handle  but no luck I don't know if that app needs to run or at list how to create an open process , or should I use enumerate proc or not ....

I was up till 5AM and the better oart of today with this

From what window do you want to get the information?
Reading your post, it is not clear what you are exactly trying to do - that's make it difficult to help.
