Why are some windows not enumerable?
0
I was doing some tests on Window relationships, and found out that there are some windows that aren't accessible via the EnumWindows() and EnumChildWindows() functions.
Some I found by going up to the root of the relationship tree to the root node (nullptr) via GetParent() and another I found by peeking into the messages that were being sent around. Is there no way to find these handles? If so, how? If not, is it done this way for security purposes, or is something broken?
Edit
I've added a repo of the code (including the VS solution I did) here, in case anyone is interested in taking a look. When I run it unmodified, it gives me a single not enumable HWND with the class name Message. Why that isn't included in the message windows, I don't know. Changing the line allocate_nodes(false) to allocate_nodes(true) in the main() function, will force looking for other HWNDs that weren't found using the published interfaces. I'm not sure if these are real or phantoms, though it does capture the not enumable HWND.
Some sample output:

The standard example is a message-only window. Use the Spy++ utility to find out more about it.

That's what I was looking for @HansPassant. However, is the source code for Spy++ available?

also you need have disableWindowFiltering in manifest - TRUE disables window filtering so you can enumerate immersive windows from the desktop.

It used to be, part of the SDK samples. Takes a museum trip though, back to around 1998. Just use it.
– Hans Passant
Nov 15 '18 at 22:35
Lol. Well, the tip on the message-only windows found 99.9% of the windows. There was just one (that I'm aware of) that wasn't enumerated. Not sure about how to generate a manifest file though @RbMm.

Is there no way to find these handles? If so, how? If not, is it done this way for security purposes, or is something broken?
Edit
I've added a repo of the code (including the VS solution I did) here, in case anyone is interested in taking a look. When I run it unmodified, it gives me a single not enumable HWND with the class name Message. Why that isn't included in the message windows, I don't know. Changing the line allocate_nodes(false) to allocate_nodes(true) in the main() function, will force looking for other HWNDs that weren't found using the published interfaces. I'm not sure if these are real or phantoms, though it does capture the not enumable HWND.

The default field separator is !, but can be changed at the top of the source file. I wonder what all of these hidden ComboBoxes are for that are off of the Desktop?

The standard example is a message-only window. Use the Spy++ utility to find out more about it.

That's what I was looking for @HansPassant. However, is the source code for Spy++ available?

also you need have disableWindowFiltering in manifest - TRUE disables window filtering so you can enumerate immersive windows from the desktop.

It used to be, part of the SDK samples. Takes a museum trip though, back to around 1998. Just use it.

Lol. Well, the tip on the message-only windows found 99.9% of the windows. There was just one (that I'm aware of) that wasn't enumerated. Not sure about how to generate a manifest file though @RbMm.
