The second parameter needs to be ByVal.

Also, you don't need separate EnumWindows/EnumChildWindows callback
routines. I use one for both, and use lParam to tell the callback what to
do. I have lParam declared as Enum, so I don't have to type constants. Here
is an example:

Public Enum eEnumWindowsActions
enumAllWindows
enumAllChildWindows
enumAllVisibleWindows
enumAllVisibleChildWindows
End Enum

Public Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As Long,
ByVal lParam _
As eEnumWindowsActions) As Long

Public Function EnumWindowProc(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lParam _
As eEnumWindowsActions) As Long

According to MSDN, the fourth parameter is this:

lpszWindow
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the window name (the
window's title). If this parameter is NULL, all window names match.

That suggests you're looking for the window's text, not its VB control name,
which I thought wasn't even compiled into the app in the first place.
