What is wrong with this code?

function CheckItOut:boolean;
begin
Result := true;
if FindWindow('ExampleName', nil) = 0 then exit;
if not FindWindow('ExampleName', nil) = 0 then
begin
Result := True;
showmessage('true');
end;
end;

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Sorry but I'm a newby...

Grtz

Perhaps if you tell us which problem you have exactly with this code, we might have a better chance to help you.

When a window with the windowname "ExampleName" is visible. The function doesn't show the message "true"

I want to make a function(boolean) so that I can check if a Windo exists or not.

Regards, S

Maybe you're looking for the window title? Your code looks for the window class name. Check out the documentation of FindWindow. Probably you need to swap the parameters.

Thanx Madshi! You were right. It works.
