Find Window with Partial Name
Hi!

Is there any way of finding a window when only knowing part of its title?
Eg. I have a window called "Microsoft Word - This Document - Bla". I'd like to find that window, only knowing part of that title, ie. "Microsoft Word"

Otherwise, is there any way in NSIS to enumerate the open windows?

From the System Plugin readme:

SetPluginUnload alwaysoff
System::Get "(i.r1, i) iss"
Pop $R0
System::Call "user32::EnumChildWindows(i $HWNDPARENT, k R0, i) i.s"
loop:
        Pop $0
        StrCmp $0 "callback1" 0 done
        System::Call "user32::GetWindowText(ir1,t.r2,i${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN})"
        System::Call "user32::GetClassName(ir1,t.r3,i${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN})"
        IntFmt $1 "0x%X" $1
        DetailPrint "$1 - [$3] $2"
        Push 1 # callback's return value
        System::Call "$R0"
        Goto loop
done:
SetPluginUnload manual
System::Free $R0

More info on EnumWindows .
Try also FindWindowEx.

I am not sure if the internal NSIS FindWindow command achieves what you are after ...

FindCloseTerminate not returnes handle, but can find by name part and close or terminate (with optional MessageBox popup).
