Visual basic CodedUI search for window name

Question

I have a recorded item that can changes its window name dynamically depending on the runs. So using "Contains" to find the window name is a good idea, but implementing it does not seem intuitive.

I successfully changed this:

'Me.SearchProperties(UITestControl.PropertyNames.Name) = "ex(3)"
            searchLimitContainer.SearchProperties.Add(UITestControl.PropertyNames.Name, "ex", PropertyExpressionOperator.Contains)

But cannot find how to replace this:

Me.WindowTitles.Add("Microsoft Excel - ex[3].xls")
                searchLimitContainer.SearchProperties.Add(UITestControl.WindowTitles.Add, "Microsoft Excel -", PropertyExpressionOperator.Contains) //Does not work UITestControl.WindowsTitles.Add or WindowsTitles.add does not exist

Where can I find the proper call(not only for this one, but all the ones I would need)?

P.S. Yes I looked at the documentation, I did not find what I wanted.
