need a helpwith find window API

[whatsup]

first, i'm doing all this in external app, not extension nor script

so i'm trying to find all reaper opened windows by calling
this first

hWnd=findwindow(whatever needed here)

then
cWnd=findwindowex(hwnd,.....)

i assume this should give me all the child windows opening in reaper

what i get is only a handle of the main window = reaper
not the childs

any help ?

FindWindow(Ex) is for finding one particular window. To find several child windows you need to use EnumChildWindows :

By the way, if you get it working, don't be disappointed : you will not necessarily get all the windows inside Reaper this way.

unfortuantly, didn't get nothing, except of 4 windows, always, no matter what window i open.

so i guess there is no way outside reaper ?
inside it, is it possible ?

i got the windows that i just didn't want
what i wanted is the floating
what i got is the none floating: items , track view etc...

Try getting the desired window and/or window class names using something like the Spy++ program and then try FindWindow(Ex) with that info. What you are trying to do is undocumented and unsupported by Cockos, so you must expect and accept lots of work, failures and disappointments... ;)
