Check if window with certain title exists

[devil]

Is it possible to somehow check if window (on Windows) with certain title exists at the moment.. or do I need some kind of winapi magic for that?

Yes, you need that winapi magic
A combination of EnumWindows() and GetWindowTitle() should do the trick.

There is a simpler way! Take a look at msdn: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633499.aspx

The FindWindow() function:

HWND handle = FindWindow(NULL, "Window Title");

HWND handle = FindWindow(NULL, "Window Title");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This should work for you.

PS: The function returns NULL on a non'existant window, or the window handle otherwise.

Oh, thank you so much! I've been looking for this like.. forever.. too bad it can't be done with Qt but I totally understand why. But thanks again!

If you're willing to introduce a dependency to Qxt, you can use QxtWindowSystem.

Thanks, I'll look into that
