FindwindowEx

Hi,

i want to read the text of the user at MSN Messenger Login dialog... it's a ComboBox.

Inside the window there's a class named 'SysCredential' and it's the parent for the combobox, but when i try to get its handle i do not success... here's part of the code

var
wnd: HWND;

······

// Find Msgr Window
wnd := FindWindow('#32770', '.NET Messenger Service');

// Find 'SysCredential' window
wnd := FindWindowEx(wnd, 0, 'SysCredential', nil);

// **** THIS should give me the handle for the combobox, but it does not! :(
wnd := FindWindowEx(wnd 0, 'ComboBox', nil);

Please Help me!! what am i doing wrong????
btw... i got class names using Spy++

Thanks!
