Hi all,

First post to Tek-Tips! :)

I'm writing an application which interfaces with several "media players".

Currently I have it monitoring Winamp 2 and Winamp 3 clients using FindWindow() - So I can see what's currently being played.

I want to incorporate Windows Media Player now but FindWindow() doesn't work with WMP. WMP doesn't put the current song playing in the Window Title unlike Winamp.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can get my application to "grab" what Windows Media Player is playing?

Thanks in advance and regards,
David.
