   Regarding the two suggestions offered so far, I see I wasn't clear in   
   my original post..   
      
   I'm using EnumWindows and EnumChildWindows to get all the window   
   handles and their IDs which works fine.  But it's all the controls   
   inside each window for which I need their IDs (text boxes, command   
   buttons, etc.).  Creating a loop to test all possible ID numbers does   
   work, but it would be much better if there an equivalent of the   
   EnumWindows function that also enumerates all the control IDs inside   
   the window.
