    Why would you bother with API to tell if your form is visible or not?

    Why not just use :

    Code:
    If frmName.Visible Then
    Perhaps if you actually "EXPLAINED" why you must specifically use API to tell this people would answer your question

    Now why didn't you say that in the first place?

    Knowing that the form is in a different application changed the whole scope of the question you have asked.

    What you are doing now is simply trying to find what "Windows" your operating system currently has open. A form in another application would be listed in exactly the same way as Microsoft Word or any other application you are running.

    There are examples on here regarding this.

    Do a search for "FindWindow" and it should lead you towards what you are needing.

    Try Iswindowvisible api
    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.
