Ed, thanks for your answer.

Winsight shows the following tree, where the last entry below is my
window, I was looking the title/caption for:

Desktop...
+-Overlapped 00130030E {IETrace}IExplorer.exe
(13,-1)-(200,1023)"http://www...."
+-+-Popup 00061596{SunAWTDialog}, EXPLORER.EXE (35,5)-(285,228)
"Player"


GetWindowText() also returns 'Player', but this is not the text, the
window displays. 

What can I do next?

Thanks,

Michael
