    Re: Get hwnd of a control in another application.

    I think FindWindowEx will do it, any ideas on the parameters? Here's what I got so far:

    FindWindowEx(GetForegroundWindow(), null, null, nulll);

    and its not much. if spy++ can do it so can I, I'm pretty darn sure I've done this before, in fact I know I have because I wrote a macro program that would record keyboard and mouse events, and play them back. I would have had to of got the control hwnd to have used sendmessage correctly..... Problem is it was in vb6, and on another harddrive that I have stored away right now.... gurrrrr.....


    Well, now I'm thinking maybe I created a global mouse and keyboard hook, and just threw in the recorded key and mouse events into the message queue ... I dunno, Hopefully someone will shed some light, in the meantime, when I get a day off from work, I'll dig up my harddrive, and try to find my original code.
