Is there a way to get the window handle (IntPtr) for a window after its launched from a C# app with Process.Start()?

A:
If it's the main window you're after, Process.MainWindowHandle will give you what you need.

A:
Use
process.MainWindowHandle;
It probably is 0 when launching the app, so you might want to loop and sleep until it is filled up.

Hi Jan,For me, the handle is always zero and never goes to any other value, even after infinite looping. I use the following code:proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Documents and Settings\SUM\Desktop\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\Notepad++Portable.exe"; proc.StartInfo.Arguments = String.Empty; proc.Start(); IntPtr appHwnd = proc.MainWindowHandle; while (appHwnd == IntPtr.Zero) { Thread.Sleep(100); appHwnd = proc.MainWindowHandle; }What's wrong?

You could also call Refresh() on the process to be sure the info in accurate
