"p" - Flag "Process ID"

Search Top Window

 

 

Intention

 

You can localize a window safely, if you have the PID (Process ID) of the application behind that window.

 

Be sure that you have read and understood the chapter 1.7. Application and PID .

 

Hint: If you have localized a window, you also have the PID of the process behind that window in #pid#. You can save it for later use in a variable. Like this:

 

STW.c|pbwind

: §§PID=#pid#

 

or use:

 

STW.c|pbwind

HTV.§§PID

 

In both cases, you get the PID of that process into the local variable §§PID.

 

You can see the PID of a process  in the task-manager::

 

 

The PID value is a normal search parameter and can be used alone or together with other search parameters.

 

' Search a window from process with ID 3435

' and the given window class.

STW.ch|pbwind|580
