Windows APIs don't ever return lists of things, because it present a
memory management difficulty. Who allocates, who owns, who releases,
etc. Instead, they all use the "enumeration callback" concept. That
way, if you want a list, you can construct and maintain it yourself.
If you just want the list of handles, you can do something like this:
childlist = []
win32ui.EnumChildWindows( hwnd, lamba hwnd,oldlist: oldlist.append(
hwnd ), childlist )
