I would like to know how to give focus(Higlight) Nulsoft's Winamp window with its ever changing caption...

Any Help?

If WinAmp is in background (not Minimized) you can use this:

Private Declare Function BringWindowToTop Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32.dll" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As Any, ByVal lpWindowName As Any) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim hwnd As Long

    hwnd = FindWindow("Winamp v1.x", CLng(0))
    BringWindowToTop hwnd
End Sub

Winamp v1.x is a class name for WinAmp Window. You may have to check it to make sure (use Spy++ to do it)

If winamp is miniminized then you can use ShowWindow API to maximize it.
