Finding opened window based on it's caption or name

[Guest]

Hi! Is there a .NET call to find our whether a window is opened based on its name or caption
Then I need to pass some vars to the window and make it do something for me

I am interested in .NET calls. I searched the web and could not find anything. Perhaps I was no
using the right words.

Many Thanks in Advance for your help

Thank you, Herfried K. Wagner

Does your answer mean that there is no managed call in C#

Does your answer mean that there is no managed call in C# ?

Are you looking for a solution that is system-wide or application-wide?

The window I am trying to find can be opened by my app as well as other apps.
I guess it's a system-wide.

Then there is no managed way to do that. You will have to adapt the
declaration I posted for C# (see 'DllImportAttribute').
