Controlling other running applications

[Joe G]

Assume the MS calculator is running.

How would I select View-->Standard from the Calculator Menu bar

from a VB application?


Thanks,

Joe


The next step would be sending values to it, I will try SendKeys()

for this.

You can access menus with SendKeys, just send whatever the shortcut key is. There is an API, keybd_event that does the same thing.

if you call the app, you can use

AppActivate title[, wait]

where title is the ID returned form the shell function
