Hi Donald: You might try using the GetForeGroundWindow function to return the handle of the main window or dialogue with focus. This function does not require a starting handle so May work in some instances where the handle with focus does not link directly to the main window.

It seems that these "Find" calls fail based on cursor positions or some other controllable conditions. Is there things that might be considered before calling these functions? Perhaps moving focus to a known location or routing the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor? Will these functions fail if the application currently does not have any window in focus or the mouse is positioned outside the window? I would like to make several applications more reliable.
