see eg/showwin.pl GetWindowText() is the function that pulls the data i want in case anyone wants to know. This is just the info i was looking for, thanks for the pointer! -----Original Message----- From: Geoffrey Spear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 12:19 PM To: Fleming, John M Subject: Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] question about icons on the taskbar and hover over. You're talking about this list of open windows, right? If the information you're looking for is what's in the title bar of a Window, I have no idea how to get it directly from the taskbar, but it's fairly trivial to grab from the window itself using Win32::Guitest If that's what you're looking for I can find some source code to send you as an example.
