For what purpose? The sidebar in Window 7 does not have a single window. For each Gadget, there is a root window of class "SideBar_HTMLHostWindow" with no caption which has a single IE child window. Each gadget also has a indow of class "BasicWindow" and the name of the gadget as the caption. All of these can be seen in Spy++ without a problem. -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems (Replies direct to my email address will be ignored.

I want to be able to hide all gadgets reliably on all versions greater than Vista including the visible window in Vista. -- ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org

Shutdown sidebar.exe? To rephrase what I asked, what do you want to happen (not what do you think you need to do) Going behind an applications back is just going to cause problems. "Full screen" apps normally override the gadgets anyway if required. -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems (Replies direct to my email address will be ignored.
