All.
From eHome I am trying to activate the instance of Powerhome that is currently running and bring it to the foreground. Normally I would call the API and search for the caption of the program and get the hwnd and then send a API message to activate it.
I am not able to find powerhome.  I know the same thing happens to FoxPro apps too. Is this a PowerBuilder thing?
Anyway... ideas?

Steve,
PowerHome has several built-in functions that may help.
ph_handle() returns the handle of the main PowerHome frame window.
ph_setforegroundwindow will set a particular handle to be the foreground window. You could bring PowerHome to the foreground with: ph_setforegroundwindow(ph_handle())
You may also want to look at the ph_windowstate function as well.
All of these functions are callable using the socket server or through a plugin.
Concerning your specific problem though...the title of the PowerHome window is " PowerHome " with a single space in front and two spaces after.
Hope this helps,
Dave.

Thanks for the info!
That was it. " PowerHome " with the spaces worked great.
My VBA function is:
'--- shells or finds a application
dim sadStartsWith: sadStartsWith = 0
dim sadContains: sadContains = 1
dim sadMatches: sadMatches = 2
Dim sPrgCation,sPathAndFile, nFindWinBy
nFindWinBy = sadStartsWith
sPathAndFile = "C:\Program Files\powerhome\pwrhome.exe"
sPrgCation = " powerhome "
g_oGbl.EH_AppActivate sPrgCation,sPathAndFile, nFindWinBy
Now all works GREAT!
