That is too broad of a question.  Every application is different, each
window handles documents in its own way specific to that application.  There
is no universal way to accomplish what you are asking for.  Some
applications display filenames in caption bars.  If available, you could try
grabbing that text.  Some applications display documents in OLE containers.
Some applications have no external access to filenames whatever.  Unless an
application specifically exposes that kind of information for external
access, then there is almost no way to get that information, especially if
all you have available is an HWND to a window.
