How to get active inspector window handle?

M

madhavi

Hi,

I am trying to get the inspector window handle as I need to add one or two components (like button etc) to the inspector. I used the below code and I am getting the active window of outlook is correct. But the handle I am getting is not correct when I examined it with spy++.

What could be wrong in this?

Also if I have more than one mail opened with same title, How can we get the handle of the actually the currently active inspector window? (As to find the handle, we are just passsing the tile and two or more windows have the same title)

Please provide me some help to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what code you're referring to, since you never showed in
either of your duplicate posts. Get the handle when the Inspector opens, in
the first Activate() event. At that time the Inspector will be the
ActiveInspector.

If you have multiple Inspectors that have the same class name and caption
then FindWindow() could retrieve any of them.

In that case you might want to use FindWindowEx() and test each found window
for size and location on the screen to figure out which is which.

Of course that test case is an edge case, it's not likely in the real world
that a user would have multiple Inspectors opened at the same time all with
the same caption.
