DLLFindBlitzRuntimeHwnd()

DLLFindBlitzRuntimeHwnd()
  • SYNOPSIS:
    hwndHandle = DLLFindBlitzRuntimeHwnd(sAppName$,[sClosePrompt$])
  • DESCRIPTION:
    Makes 100% certain that you have got the hWnd handle to the Blitz Runtime Window for the instance of your program that opened it. As FindWindow() is so unreliable, this function appends a random value to the name of your window before I grabs the hWnd by the title name. It grabs the name and sets the proper window title before the user sees it. So it is quite transparent, unfortunatally currently the only real way to do it.
    This function also doubles up as a replacement for AppTitle()..... Sort of :)
  • PARAMETERS:
    sAppName$ The title to be displayed in the
    sClosePrompt$ (optional) Propmt to be displayed when the user clicks the close gadget on your runtime window.
  • RETURNS:
    The hWnd handle to the Blitz Runtime Window. This should not change throughout execution of your program.
  • EXAMPLE:
    See example012.bb.
  • BUGS:
    None Known.
