$var = WinList()

For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]

; Only display visble windows that have a title

If $var[$i][0] <> "" AND IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then

MsgBox(0, "Details", "Title=" & $var[$i][0] & @LF & "Handle=" & $var[$i][1])

EndIf

Next

Func IsVisible($handle)

If BitAnd( WinGetState($handle), 2 ) Then

Return 1

Else

Return 0

EndIf

EndFunc

madmorgan,

From the ever-useful and much under-read Help file:

WinGetTitle("[active]") returns the active window's title

madmorgan let me first praise your attitude it's good you have fun learning! I just want to remind you as well that WinActivate is not something you probably want to use in an If Else statement. It simply activates a window based the title, but does not check whether it is active or not. You need WinActive
