dim ctl as control<br>for each ctl in form1.controls<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;debug.print ctl.name<br>next<br><br>You can use the hwnd property to get the window handle of a control,&nbsp;&nbsp;but not every control has a hwnd property, so your code will need to be able to deal with that.<br> <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

the scenario that I am dealing with is getting the handle of controls on programs written in any other language.&nbsp;&nbsp;For example: I know I can use the API to get a list of all running windows, but can't get it to work any other way.<br>
