From the reference manual: The FindWindow function retrieves the handle of the window whose class name and window name match the specified strings. The function does not search child windows.

The answer is in the GetWindow() function. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Brown | "She turned me into a newt... PE Nelson Systems | ...
