how do I get the handle for a specific acttive browser instance?

Here's the scenario (simplified for clarity):

- user has 2 active browser windows, one on www.google.com and one on www.yahoo.com
- user has a windows app that is trying to get the handle of the browser that is on www.yahoo.com

How will the user's windows app go about finding the browser that is on www.yahoo.com?

Thanks!

Just a clarification, the windows app is in VB.NET. Thanks.

You can try and cycle through the active processes on the system. Not sure it will tell you which window is which though
