Is there a quick and easy method of reading the active window title??

I know I can do this in VB with API's but what about vbs??

Any suggestions kind folks??

I don't know of any quick way to find this for an existing process, but I did see this on the web which uses tlist.exe (tasklist.exe in XP).

I do not know how this can be done with vbscript, but it can be done with AutoIT, www.hiddensoft.com, this can be compiled into an exe which can then be run from a vbscript.

Function GetOpenWindowTitles(vTitles As Variant)
� Get a list of open, visible "top-level" windows by title bar text.
This function can be used to get title needed for CloseProgram sub.
ex.: r = sys.GetOpenWindowTitles(a)

vTitles returns an array of window titles. If method fails,
or if there are no open windows, vTitles returns "".

Return:
Function return is number of window titles listed in array vTitles.
A window is listed only if it is visible so that the window list will
actually represent open programs and Explorer windows on the
Desktop. (A minimized window is visible).
Possibly useful note: The list returned seems to always contain
"Program Manager" (ProgMan).

A return of -1 indicates that function failed.
A return of 0 indicates no open windows.
