Nicol: Using the findString function can always be a bit of a trial-&-error proposition, because one is never certain of the window. I tend to start out using GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow()) or GetTopLevelWindow(GetCurrentWindow()). Also, since findString actually returns an integer, I tend to construct my finds like: if (FindString(GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow()), "was", s_top, s_unrestricted)) then bla bla bla endif It's rather like using a shotgun instead of a pistol--your coverage becomes a whole lot wider.
