Hi there Derek,

Oh yes, very good idea!  If i cant find this within the next day or
so i'll do that.  Luckily it wont be hard to convert my lib to do
that and i think it would be pretty fast to search a small list
like you said so the overhead time shouldn't add much of a delay.

BTW, what method is WinLib currently using to get ID's from hWnd's?


Thanks for the idea, and take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
