Cannot handle this class : XamlExplorerHostIslandWindow ! it is the Windows 11 Task view !

[Syla]

Hi, i'm trying to get the handle of this class but without success. All others WinGetHandle are working in my code, not this one. the WinWait before WinGetHandle launched when the window is activ does not see it and wait until i close it ! The Window info from Autoit is able to see and get every information, any idea would be really appreciate.

What happens if you use windows title? Show the code you are using. It might be easier someone to help you that way. If you copy handle from AutoIt info tool are you able to get any data for window?

if i use windows title it's the same problem ! i've tried to copy the handle given by the autoit app, but the handle number is changing at every new launch of it.

What @ahmet meant is : after you launch the application and you plug the handle into your code, do you have access to the window ?

Have you tried to use WinList instead ?  Maybe there is multiple windows with the same class ?

And please show your code when you ask for help.  Here how to post code.

Task View is launched by windows in full screen, i could get the handle but no way to use it without quit and relaunch again ( and then loose the handle ) !

WinList does not show it !!!

If "Always on top" don't do it, use Control Viewer.

Interesting but if Au3Inf is seeing it you should be able to handle it.
