Vlad,

This will do it without Foxtools. Of course, in VFP 7.0...< g >

DECLARE INTEGER FindWindowEx IN Win32API;
  INTEGER hwndParent, INTEGER hwndChildAfter,;
  STRING @lpszClass, STRING @lpszWindow
DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN Win32API;
  STRING @lpszClass, STRING @lpszWindow
DECLARE INTEGER GetWindow IN Win32API;
#DEFINE GW_HWNDNEXT 2
#DEFINE GW_CHILD 5
#DEFINE GW_HWNDLAST 1
* lcchild is the caption of the form of interest
lcparent = _SCREEN.Caption
* Get the main VFP window
lnhwnd = FindWindow(0, @lcparent)
* Get the first child window
lnchild = GetWindow(lnhwnd, GW_CHILD)
* Get the last child window (the VFP desktop)
lnlast = GetWindow(lnchild, GW_HWNDLAST)
* Get the handle of the window of interest
lnwindow = FindWindowEx(lnlast, 0, 0, @lcchild)
