I would like to list all active windows and read it into a string or array. I think the com object to do this is something like this:
r = FindWindowLike(hWnds(), 0, "*", "*", Null)

Could someone mock up a quick script that does this or get me started down the right path?
TIA

PS, I am using kix to launch some apps inside citrix and move around files and I need to know if a specific app is running or not so I think this is the best way to do that!

Welcome to the board!

Have you thought about using this utility -
PSLIST?

If you have using UNIX or releated OS, it is similar to ps (Process List and display) and when used in conjunction with PSKILL it is like the UNIX kill (kill a process) Program. That is you can kill processes by ID..

When you talk about hWnds for example, are you trying to write something in VB? Are you trying to determine not only if a task is active, but what the Window position is?

Thanks!

To Answer you second question, No I am not trying to write it in vb. I just researched the call on msdn and I would like to try to use it in a kix script with com/ole (Kix I know, VB I don't know).

but what comes to kill, you may want to try the one in the reskit: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winntas/reskit/reskit.asp
and there is some util, don't remember the name anymore for current users process listing.

cheers,

I tried Pslist at your suggestion and on a citrix server it lists processes for all users. I need to know if a process is running for a specific user. Thanks for the suggestion.

when you run pslist and it lists all fo the processes, does it show a userid along with the process? If so pipe "|" the command through a find string.

pslist | find /i "username"

Bryce, Unfortunately it does not show which user the process is running under, Thanks for the attempt..

There is a command called query in citrix which gives me a specfic users processes...
Thanks a bunch guys for pointing me in the right direction

The PS Tools are just enhanced versions of what is in the Resource Kit.

Thanks!
