[Dev-C++] EURICA!: Win Shell Programming

After many hours of programming... I've finally found the solution! I have experimented with many styles and now I have a working code, ready to be used in one of my programs I am currently writing. Below is a copy of the test program code. The new function, IsAppWindow(HWND) tells if the window the handle points to is an Application window in the taskbar:

#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>

// using namespace std;

BOOL IsAppWindow(HWND);

int i = 0;

BOOL CALLBACK AppGetWindows(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam) {
   string str2;
   LPSTR LPString;
   LPString = new(CHAR);
   
   if (IsAppWindow(hwnd))
   {
      i = i + 1;
      if (GetWindowText(hwnd, LPString ,19) > 0) {
         cout << i << ":" << LPString << endl;
      }
   }

   return true;
   delete LPString;
   LPString = 0;
}

BOOL IsAppWindow(HWND hWnd)
{
	BOOL bResult = TRUE;
	LONG nStyle;
	HWND hOwner;
	HWND hParent;

	// if it is a WS_CHILD or not WS_VISIBLE, fail it
	nStyle = GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE);	
	if((nStyle & WS_CHILD) || !(nStyle & WS_VISIBLE))
		bResult = FALSE;

	// if the window is a WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW fail it
	nStyle = GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE);
	if(nStyle & WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
		bResult = FALSE;

	// If this has an owner, then only accept this window
	// if the parent is not accepted
	hOwner = GetWindow(hWnd, GW_OWNER);
	if(hOwner && bResult)
		bResult = !IsAppWindow(hOwner);

	// if it has a parent, fail
	hParent = GetParent(hWnd);
	if(hParent)
		bResult = FALSE;

	return bResult;
}

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int cmdShow) {

   if (EnumWindows(*AppGetWindows, 0)) {
      cout << endl << i << " Total Windows" << endl;
   } else {
      cout << "EnumWindows Failed /n" << endl;
   }

   system("PAUSE");
}

At first I didn't really know where I could start writing the function. But thanks to some advice to you folks, I now have this little test code. The program now outputs not only the number of windows but also the titles of the windows.

Guys! all ya Folks! Thanks!!!!
