How do I check how many windows are opened in Windows at the moment.

[Kai Zhang]

I want to write a VB.NET application to display current running applications
and total number of windows opened, however, I don't know how to start this
project. Can anyone give soem hints? Do I have to win32 functions?

Thanks,

Kai

Yes, I am curious, is there a reason that you want to check that?

Yes, you can use p/invoke with 'EnumWindows'.

Not really a serious reason. I just want to write a program to automatically
turn off the machine after all the applications and windows are shut down,
so I don't need to wait during the machine shutting down:').

BTW, my machine is S L O W.

Thanks Herfried, I am not fully following what you suggested, but I will
Google "use p/invoke with 'EnumWindows'".
