   local oWnd

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd FROM 100,100 TO 400,400 PIXEL TITLE "First Window"
   @ 20,20 BUTTON "New Window" SIZE 200,50 PIXEL OF oWnd ;
      ACTION ( CreateNextWindow( oWnd ), oWnd:GoTop() )

Also you can use the function
Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
BringWindowToTop( hWnd )

Rao, thank you for your reply. But I didn 't understand how it would help me ? There is a window of someone else's application under my window and I need to get a window handle of this someone else's application. In this case, using the FindWindow() function is not possible

hi,

under HMG we have this Function
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getnextwindow?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
HB_FUNC (GETNEXTWINDOW)
{
   HWND hWnd     = (HWND) HMG_parnl (1);
   HWND hWndNext = GetWindow (hWnd, GW_HWNDNEXT);
   HMG_retnl ((LONG_PTR) hWndNext );
}

GW_HWNDNEXT 2 Returns a handle to the window below the given window.
GW_HWNDPREV 3 Returns a handle to the window above the given window.
greeting,
Jimmy

Sorry. Your question was different and my answer was different.

While adopting Mr. Jimmy's advice, you need not write all the 'C' code.

You can use the FWH function GetWindow() directly in your program with the same syntax.

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

GetWindow( hWnd, 2 or 3 )
