FindWindowLike function?
Hi,
I need to detect a running Java application and shut it down before the installation.
I tried to use FindWindow. However The ClassName is SunAwtFrame, which is the same for all Java applications. The WinName will change depending on what the application is processing.
Is there a similar function like FindWindowLike, which will match portion of the window title?
Current FindWindow will match exact the window title name. So I can not use this function for my scenario.
Thanks for the help.
