Hi monks
Please tell me how to find the windows handle of excel automated using OLE? For Excel 2002 & higher versions, the hWnd property is added to the Application object. So hwnd for Excel 2002 & higher versions can be found as follows. 
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
$Constant = Win32::OLE::Const->Load('Microsoft Excel');
$Excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit') ||
die "Error launching MS Excel ".Win32::OLE->LastError; 

$hwnd = $Excel->{"Hwnd"};
print "Excel Windows Handle: $hwnd\n";

How to find it for earlier versions of Excel. I read somewhere that it can be found using FindWindow API call. If so please tell me how to use this API call to find hwnd?
