Can Java...

**Moncleared** · 02-04-2010, 07:37 PM

Hi,

Does java have the ability to read all the window titles that are currently open? For example, if I have an application opened and its window title is "Fun Example Application", does Java have a way to access that information?

I was hoping I could read in all open Application Window Titles and find one in particular.

Thanks,

What do you mean when you say Native Library? The uses of this application will always be on Windows XP and no other.

simple: java can't access it, same as it can't acces ur mouse/keyboard input etc

I think he means that it can't edit your mouse keyboard events. Ex. If I were to hit 'a' on my keyboard in notepad with a java program running in the background, you couldn't write a program that changes the 'a' you type into a 'b'. Or whenever you right click, a java program makes it so that the computer thinks you left clicked.
