"p" - Flag "Process ID"
Search Child Window
Intention
The "p"-flag ist mostly used with Top-Windows. Within a Top-window all child-windows have the same PID. You can however use it in very special cases for child-windows also.
Especially if you use the "T"-Flag, which does search through all windows (desktopwide).
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.
