Thanks but, this program do not allow me to get the window ID (Window)
with the process ID.

I can see in the code that I can know the window id with the window name,
and this works fine, but the problem is that normally my program do not
know the name of the window that he is lunching, the only thing that my
program knows is the process ID.

I expect that my English have not been very bad.

thanks for your time.

Edu.
