Correct, getParent from most top-level windows will not return the
desktop window. As it happens, getParent from a window of class
ComboLBox will get it.
But FindTopLevelWindow does not take an hwnd. It allows you to find a
window that directly descends from the desktop without requiring you
to have the desktop window's handle.

In my experience GetParent(GetAppMainWindow()) does not return the desktop
even a few back as I've tried this in the past. Is this simply a windows XP

Hello,
You can still find this window.
FindTopLevelWindow() should do what you want, if you have a window class or
name.
It is equivalent to using findWindow() with a window handle of 0.
I have usually worked with the assumption that 0 is the desktop level in
Windows, however, Doug Lee has mentioned this is not always the case.
Nevertheless, FindTopLevelWindow should work, or if you use
GetAppMainWindow() then step a parent or two back from this by u
