My objective is to capture the mouse and keyboard events that UFT generates in the application-under-test (AUT), for use in a third-party application. Ideally, the solution should work with existing tests, or need just minimal changes.

Is QTP not recording the events with existing settings? Are you missing an add-in?

The simplest solution would be doing this for objects in the test:

Set obj = Dialog("Login")
Print "HWND of the login dialog: " & Hex(obj.GetROProperty("hwnd"))

What are you trying to achieve with the above?

I tried enumerating the window and dialog objects, but it turns out UFT enumerates every window whether it belongs to the AUT or not:

Set desc = Description.Create  
Set objChildren = Desktop.ChildObjects(desc)
' The following counts every open window on the desktop
Print "Objects under Desktop: " & objChildren.Count

You can create a more specific filter by adding additional properties to desc. For example:

Set desc = Description.Create
desc("title").Value = "MyApplication.*"

Set objChildren = Desktop.ChildObjects(desc)

' Will now give you the count of windows matching the title above
Print "Objects under Desktop: " & objChildren.Count

Surprisingly, the test's object repositories turned up empty:

' The following line outputs zero
Print "Repository Count:" & RepositoriesCollection.Count

When you manually check for SORs, do they show up in the list?

Anshoo,

Thank you for your reply.

I am working on replaying existing tests, not on recording new ones.

I need the window handle, or process ID, of the application under test, for integrating with a 3rd party tool.

>>> When you manually check for SORs, do they show up in the list

When checking object repository manually, I do get the list of objects (see screenshot attached). I'd like to get the same result using a script.
