I want to find the handle to a process so I can use ReadProcessMemory() on it. I'm pretty sure I can use OpenProcess() and FindWindow() and GetWindowThreadProcessId(). I just want to know if this is the right way to do it.

Code:

HWND hWnd;
DWORD pid;
HANDLE hProc;

hWnd = FindWindow(NULL,"Name of Window");
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd,&pid);
hProc = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS|PROCESS_VM_READ,0,pid);

//start readprocessmemory here....


If this isn't the right way cna someone edit the code and post it?
