Re: Detecting Running Apps on Windoze in Cygwin


Tennis,

Back in the days when I used VB 4/5/6, we got the window titles via a Win32 call. Can you do that in tcl?

Yeah, I can figure out what processes are running from "ps", but not
what windows are up.  Basically, I'm trying to verify that a couple
applications are running and have windows of a particular name up and
running.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi,

What I would like to do is very simple (I hope): Determine which Win
applications are running and, if possible, what the names are in the
title bars.

How best can that be done? I'd prefer to use TCL.

TIA,
-Tennis


The Unix way ("ps") will work. I'm sure you can invoke it from TCL via
exec() (or, if you actually want to process the output, via open()).


See


"ps --help" for the appropriate command-line arguments. This won't


give


you the title bar info, though.
