    Is there anyway to get the
    class of a window from the
    known caption?

    Yep, this should work
    Code:
    Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
    Declare Function GetClassName Lib "user32" Alias "GetClassNameA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal nMaxCount As Long) As Long
    
    Function captionfromclassname(caption As String) As String
    Dim temp As String * 255, l As Long
        l = GetClassName(FindWindow(vbNullString, caption), temp, 255)
        captionfromclassname = Left(temp, l)
    End Function
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
