Hi All..

I would like to write an application to automate the limited functionality of another application.

I am thinking of using system wide hooks to watch for the creation of the application I want to automate.

Will I then be able to send the application messages to simulate user button presses and read text in particular text boxes ??

I have been out of the software business for 6 years now, so please bare with me while I catch up a little !!

Any help or advice on how best to achieve this would be very welcome.

I am using Visual Studio 6 (a little out of date now ?)

Many thanks in advance !

Philip
