Getwindow function in Win32::API

Nalina has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks,
Can anyone help me in getting window handle (Hwind) of excel application automated through OLE, using win32::API GetWindow function?
This is how I open excel

use Win32;
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;

Also I have installed Office 2000.

I would repeat bsdz's earlier advice to you to look at Win32::GuiTest. In particlar, the FindWindowLike() function. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."	[reply]
