David,

Objtoclient() was the first thing I thought of, however for using Objtoclient() you must specify the object to find its position and I need a function that would evaluate the position and return the object at that position -like SYS(1270, nX, nY). The problem is that SYS(1270) needs nX and nY to be absolute screen coordinates.
