1. Notification Of Window Existance
Is there a way for Windows to notify a EU prog. that a window has been
created?
What I want to do is have a Euphoria prog. sitting out there waiting
for any window to be created. When it comes up on the screen, the
prog. will check to see if it is 1 of the allowed Windows, and if it
isn't 1 of those allowed, it will close the window. This will allow it
to be running installation scripts that need keyboard input (that the
prog. will provide) but not allow anyone to start up anything that
might interfere with the installation.
I don't want to periodically run thru a list of currently running
progs., since this will be constantly changing. I would like Windows
just to notify the prog. with say some kind of event alarm so that the
only time the list of currently running progs. needs to be checked is
when the alarm is sounded.

I don't think that's possible, you'll just have to go through all
running windows every half-second or something. I don't really see why
this is a problem though, it shouldn't really cause any performance
problems...
Have a look at my window finding functions at:

They might be useful...
