I have code to do this elsewhere - I will post next time I am at the right PC. I think there are a couple of things to test for: Whether the window is top-level or not, and whether the window is visible or not. Possibly some other things too. > Also, a possibly brain-damaged question - is there a canonical way to change > Windows handles (that is, the integers returned by, for example, > Win32::GUI::GetWindow()) into Win32::GUI objects?

Most (but not all) methods that can be invoked on window objects can also be called with a window object or a window handle as a first argument: my $v = $win->IsVisible(); or my $v = Win32::GUI::IsVisible($win); my $v = Win32::GUI::IsVisible($hwnd); Regards, Rob. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
