Maybe it's a gross method, but if you really don't want to use windows handles reading, a PixelSearch or PixelGetColor should do for you. That way you won't need any windows handles.

If you can't see something that will serve as a fairly secure way to identify the window you might be able to combine some methods.

Lets say you detect a window of the right class opening, but you're not sure if it's the window you want. You could then count the amount and type of controls in that window to see if it matched. For instance your usual login window would have 2 inputs for the username and password and 2 buttons for login and cancel.

You could also run the window title through a list of possible titles based on languages. This would be easiest if the program uses localisation files you can read.

There might still be a better way though.
