I'm trying to find a way to get the window size and position of a window on the screen. I mean, not one of my own program's windows but another program's.
Background: I am trying to write a plugin for a painting program and I want to create my own semi-transparent layer over the image where I can do what I like to the pixels.The paint program provides information to plugins about the image buffer, but not about the window containing the image.
I gather that solving this has something to do with Window Handles but I have not been able to find a good explanation of these anywhere. I have also noticed many references to APIs on the Web but I do not know how to find the names of the routines or what parameters they require. (I am just beginning to get the hang of programming in VB.Net and I have no experience at all in earlier VBs.)
regards, boops_boops
