Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Help constructing a task-manager like listbox

[Eric M. H. <Eri...@dc...>]

Hello there, I'm hoping there's a simple answer to this one but I'll
accept a complicated one - I'm an old hand with Perl but don't know much
about Windows internals or Win32::GUI...
 
I'm trying to build a listbox that will have about the same contents as
the "Applications" tab in Task manager, showing only those apps that
have real, focusable windows.  I've been using Win32::GuiTest's
"FindWindowLike" with empty search strings to get a list of windows, but
even with a search depth of 1 I get a lot of what appear to be
sub-windows of, say, Winamp or UltraEdit.  How do I filter those out, or
is there a better way to be going about this in the first place?
 
Also, a possibly brain-damaged question - is there a canonical way to
change Windows handles (that is, the integers returned by, for example,
Win32::GUI::GetWindow()) into Win32::GUI objects?  This seems like it
ought to be simple but I can't even find a useful example of how to do
it.
