Here's an example script that shows the active window's parent when you Press F1. Any ideas why it wouldn't find a parent for the Winamp v 2.81 playlist editor window when Windowse http://www.greatis.com/delphicb/windowse/ reports that there is one (as expected)?

Code:
F1::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
WinGet, wid, ID, A ; click in Winamp v2.81 playlist editor window first
Parent := Decimal_to_Hex( DllCall( "GetParent", "uint", wid ) )
msgbox, %Parent%
Return

Esc::exitapp

Decimal_to_Hex(var)
{
  SetFormat, integer, hex
  var += 0
  SetFormat, integer, d
  return var
}

Well I found the solution: The window doesn't have a parent, it has an owner.

Code:
Owner := Decimal_to_Hex( DllCall( "GetWindow", "uint", wid , "uint", "4" ) ) ; GW_OWNER = 4
