I'm a cocoa newbie, so I may be missing something obvious here: I'd
like to get a list of open windows for all currently running

Nothing personal, but people seem to ask this question here about once a week ... and I just have to ask "why"? What kind of application are you working on? I can't think of a compelling usage for this, other than writing some kind of window-management utility (or malware...)


And BTW, if you search the list archives you'll find easily 100 messages on this exact topic just in the past two or three months.


I don't know what the OP want to do, but just to answer your question, a screenshot utility may need this kind of functionality (see GrabFS for example), and that's exactly what the CGWindow API does.
