How did you get the classname?
Like I said earlier, with a Windows spy program.

I used WinSpy.

Ah, sorry missed that.
Hmm, it seem that all Lazarus Programs have "Window" as class name, is there a (easy) way to change that for the own program?
The path is the destination but you should never lose sight of the destination on the way.

You can enumerate them as well, with the following functions (in unit Windows):

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. function EnumWindows(lpEnumFunc:ENUMWINDOWSPROC; lParam:LPARAM):WINBOOL; external 'user32' name 'EnumWindows';
  2. function GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd:HWND; lpdwProcessId:LPDWORD):DWORD; external 'user32' name 'GetWindowThreadProcessId';
  3.

Yes, Lazarus always uses "Window" as Class Name

(In Delphi it does have the same Class Name you used in your code)

The discussion about that is here:

Thanks for that, I'll take a look which way i go now.
I don't have so many LAzarus-applications here where this could be interessting now.

And regarding the Winbox i got fucked up because when it's connecting to a device it opens a completely new window which then appears outside of the application with the panel...

Yeah, it's hard to contain program's that do that.

You could build in a timer which draws in every window with that classname.
If there are multiples you could put them in a TTabsheet for example.

And don't forget... if you end your program without closing the started app, the app will stay invisible in memory (so you would need to kill that too).

Yes, still noticed that and build in something to close the app (Form.Close/Form.Destroy/before i open an other Program).
Yeah a Timer could be a possible way to do that, I'll look out if maybe the classname is different or the same. But still a big thanks to you. I never would have tried just a simple "delay" to get it to work  %)
