WinItemize Return Order
Keywords: WinItemize WinItemizeEx Return Order ZOrder List Itemize Enum Enumerate EnumWindows
Question:
If I ask WinItemize or WinItemizeEx for a list of windows, can I deduce anything from the order returned? It would be useful if I knew that the first (or last) item was the most recently active window with that title.Answer:
Many suggest that it enumerates the windows in top-down Z-order. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees as to the order returned.Check out this interesting thread about window enumeration results: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/295996/is-the-order-in-which-handles-are-returned-by-enumwindows-meaningful
