Hello Robert,

first find the Classname of your program
(use enumWindowNames("tblClassNames.db") todo so)
For Notepad the Classname is Notepad.

then start enumWindowHandles(winHandles, "Notepad")
the dynArray now should be very small, so it is easy to look for your value

Have fun!

Thies

to do: do!
