Hi James,

The following should do what you're looking for:

DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN Win32API
DECLARE INTEGER GetWindowText IN Win32API ;
  INTEGER hwnd, STRING @lptstr, INTEGER cbmax
lnhWnd = GetActiveWindow()
lctitle = SPACE(200)
lnlen = LEN(lctitle)
lnlen = GetWindowText(lnhWnd, @lctitle, lnlen)
IF lnlen > 0
  lctitle = LEFT(lctitle, lnlen)
ENDIF

hth,
