Get window title

[Monkey666]

I have the window process handle and id, how would I get the window title?

For Windows?
See getWindowText function in WinAPI reference

Ok I have and I've found this and added in to my code so like:

@
char buffer[65536];
ProcInfo *p = new ProcInfo();
HANDLE hProc = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,FALSE,entry.th32ProcessID);
int txtlen=GetWindowTextLengthW(hProc);
GetWindowText(hProc, buffer, txtlen);
@

Error is on line 4:

invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'HWND__*'

Someone told me I would find it easy learning C++ already knowing C# pretty well, but most of this just doesn't seem to make any sense :/

[vsorokin]

Try
@int txtlen=GetWindowTextLengthW((HWND__*)hProc);@

Hehe, It almost not touch c++ and c# differences.

Just Welcome to world without GC and safe-type conversions. :D
Welcome to world of WinAPI :)

Hey bro, I added what you explained above to what I posted but it just returns a single random letter each time, any ideas why it's not getting the window title?

Oh... I'm was mistake too. I hate winapi :)

I did google very long and...
NOT simple ways get HWND from HANDLE

But I find difficult way, may be you can repeat this for your program.

It's really stupid crazy method. But I'm not found anymore.

So, now I understand why Win developer hate C++ - winapi is unbelievable crap.

Hey, go to Linux - go to dark side - we still have cookies. :D

I'll check it out bro, thanks for the help :) And Linux {No Thanks!} lol, my applications are designed for windows users which I generally develop in C#, however I am trying to 'up my game' with C++, but I fear I have let myself in for a world of hurt.
