Sorry for my vagueness - it just didn't seem relevant at the time so I 
didn't want to complicate the topic.  As you will probably know from my 
previous posts I do have a GINA based project and application.

The point at which I'm enumerating the desktop windows is from with a 
gina-stub so it effectively has access to the winlogon desktop and thus the 
dialogs.  There are certain situations where the system / winlogon does 
respond to the SAS notification (C+A+D or custom) - for example, if you have 
the logon prompt displayed and you press C+A+D nothing happens.  However 
there are certain circumstances within our product where I need to force the 
closing of this dialog.  This is just a very tiny aspect of the overall 
product.  I could explain the full extent of this but I'd be here for ages 
and it would disclose the full workings of our product :-( - I'm happy to do 
this in a private e-mail if your really interested...

Suffice to say, the only way I can find of closing this dialog is to enum 
the windows, get the handle of the dialog and then post a message to it. 
The English version works fine because I know the caption to look for. 
However I have key issues when the product is deployed on systems with 
alternative languages.  My basic thinking is to check the LCID and then I 
know what string to look for.  This is the basic idea but it is proving more 
problematic than I though.  DO you have any suggestions or pointers on the 
best or easiest course of action here?

Many thanks again, if you need my e-mail it's on the BCBjournal web site.
