Hey,

Woohoo my fouth thread this week I guess.
Anyway, I'm trying to make this plugin for xchat which tries to get what you're watching/listening to on VLC player.
I thought doing FindWindow("QWidget", NULL) and GetWindowText(..) would be enough, but then it sometimes it didn't work and I wondered why.
So I spyed on it with Spy++ and see yourself:

It has other controls with the same class-names.
But I need the handle of the MainWindow. (title: "VLC Media Player").

Any idea how I could deal with this? I thought of a loop but.. hmm.

No, since the Window-title is changed when VLC player is playing something.
That's how I'm getting the title of what is being played.

thx anyway.
