Obtain window handles from all virtual desktops #9

Open mbrownnycnyc opened 4 years ago

mbrownnycnyc commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I primarily use this app to be able to have Outlook 2016 received count visible in a very small window that I can move as I wish while the main Outlook 2016 sits in the background (if it's minimized, then the window contents do not update).

Today I began placing Outlook on a second virtual desktop and open PiP-Tool on my first virtual desktop and it doesn't enumerate the windows on the second virtual desktop.

To workaround this issue: 1) go to the virtual desktop for which you have the WPF program opened you wish to PiP.

2) start PiP-Tool and select the window, and portion of the window for which you wish to PiP.

3) go to the window management stage by hitting Windows + Tab.

4) right-click on the PiP-Tool window and move to desktop or show on all desktops.

Is it possible to allow PiP-Tool to query all Window Titles/handles from all virtual desktops?

Thanks,

Matt
