Yes, GetConsoleWindow() works for me. Thanks you very much!
I have an existing VC2003 windows console program. Now I want to add a
alarm
feature to it, the simpliest way is to make the cmd window to flash. Can
this be implemented?
Evan,
If the console is running in a window, I presume you can use the
FlashWindow(Ex) API. In newer OS's you can find the console window
handle using the GetConsoleWindow API. For older OS's here's an
example of how you can get it:
DWORD g_pid, g_tid;
HWND g_MyhWnd = NULL;
BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProc( HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam )
{
DWORD pid, tid;
tid = GetWindowThreadProcessId( hWnd, &pid );
if ( ( tid == g_tid ) && ( pid == g_pid ) )
{
g_MyhWnd = hWnd;
return FALSE;
}
return TRUE;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
g_pid = ::GetCurrentProcessId();
g_tid = ::GetCurrentThreadId();
EnumWindows( EnumWindowsProc, 0 );
if ( g_MyhWnd != NULL )
{
MessageBox( g_MyhWnd, "Found My Window",
"test", MB_OK);
}
return 0;
}
Merry Christmas
