help please

my problem:

i've written all of my help documentation in html. when someone needs help, i open their default web browser to view my html and minimize my program. i need to detect when my user's web browser (the one i just opened) is closed or minimized. When the user closes or minimizes the browser, i want my program to move itself back to the top.
any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Obtain the hWnd of the browser and set that to AlwaysOnTop using the SetWindowLong API Call.

sounds good and thank you. could you please tell me how to do this because i'm kindof new at vb. thanks.

Code:

---

Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Sub LaunchHelp()
Dim BrowserhWnd

  BrowserhWnd = FindWindow("Internet Explorer", VbNull)
  If BrowserhWnd = 0 Then
      BrowserhWnd = FindWindow("Netscape Navigator", VbNull)
  End If

  If BrowserhWnd = 0 Then
      Msgbox "No capable internet browser installed."
      Exit Sub
  End If

  'shellexcecute line goes here
End Sub
