Please add some!

Sample Code:

    if(!isIEServerWindow(windowHandle))
    {
        //Get 1st child IE server window
        Win32.EnumChildWindows(windowHandle, new Win32Callback(this.EnumChild), windowHandle);
    }

    private bool EnumChild(IntPtr hWnd,IntPtr lParam)
    {
        if(isIEServerWindow(hWnd) )
        {
            lParam = hWnd;
        }
        else
        {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    private static bool isIEServerWindow(IntPtr hWnd)
    {
        IntPtr Res;
        StringBuilder ClassName = new StringBuilder(100);
        //Get the window class name
        Res = Win32.GetClassName(hWnd, ClassName, ClassName.MaxCapacity);
        if(Res != IntPtr.Zero)
        {
            return (string.Compare(ClassName.ToString(), "Internet Explorer_Server",true,CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) == 0);
        }
        else
