Hi Jeremy, If you got the window's handle, you can use the Windows API EnumChildWindows to enumerate all child windows.
Look at Windows API help file, you should be able to figure out how to use the API.

So I need to send a windows message to get the control count. The reason for this is, the name of the control I am trying to get hte name of is different every time. Basically I need to do this :- //find the parent window - done //find the parent control - done //loop the controls on the parent control's child controls //get the text from the control I want to look at. I hope what I am trying to do is res. clear :-) Jeremy
