FindWindow(...)

98 New Member
Hello all,

I am making a little program to search for a window, and if found display a message, should be easy eh? Somthing like FindWindow(NULL, "Email Reader!");

Well, thing is the title changes sometimes. Somtimes it would be "Email Reader (1)".

How could I search though each window and see if its title contains Email Reader, and if its does get its hwnd value.

Thanks!
