One wayis to use the API FindWindow() function. There is probably an entry in the FAQ about this. You can use the following declaration and code:

DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow in win32api integer,string
nWinHandle = FindWindow(0,"Window Caption to Find")

nWinHandle will contain the window handle number if found, 0 if not found.
