API gurus: how do i get a window title using its handle? 1

[ctlin]

I know about the findwindow technique. How do I do the reverse of that? That is, knowing the handle of the desired window, how can I grab its title? What other information can I grab knowing just the handle? Thanks

The GetWindowText API should give you the title

Dim WinTitle as String

WinTitle = String(255, chr(0))
GetWindowText Me.hWnd, WinTitle, 254
WinTitle = Left(WinTitle, InStr(WinTitle, Chr(0)) - 1) Good Luck
