I'm trying to use GetActiveWindow to get window names based on their handle, so my routine would some kind of a Findwindow function.

I am trying to do the same thing from VFP with DECLARE Long GetActiveWindow IN user32 (which declares it, no problem), but when it comes to running it I cannot get the handle of any other applications' window (returns 0), though it returns the correct handle when the VFP app running the function is active.
