I tried this but I'm getting errors with the signature, it 
says the function is a delegate and apparently Windows API 
can't accept a delegate.

You can make it a non-delegate by passing a pointer to hWndList 
in lParams as it was supposed to by WinApi devs, instead of 
zero, and not implicitly capturing stack pointer by referencing 
hWndList directly from the body.

The problem with the code you have is that the callback needs to 
be extern (Windows). I don't know how to do that with a "lambda".

===========================================

import core.sys.windows.windows: EnumWindows;
import std.stdio: writeln;

void main() {
    void*[] hWndList;

    EnumWindows((void* hWnd, void* lParam) nothrow {
        *(cast(void*[] *) lParam) ~= hWnd;
        return true;
    }, &hWndList);

    writeln(hWndList);
}

===========================================
