I use VB with Visual Studio 2010.I have use the example code from the Microsoft Homepage: [URL]Its work fine!Now I have an application on my computer, there I want to send keys via SendKeys to another application.In the sample code is listed:
Dim calculatorHandle As IntPtr = FindWindow("SciCalc", "Calculator")
I'm trying to make a program that runs programs using image analysis. It will Recognize images on screen so that they can be clicked. Well when i was working on it i had an ideal. I could get the edges of the screen/window i'm using. Make a calculation to grid off areas of parts of the screen. Making the program not have to process the entire screen every time. So that it only has to call to process a grided off zone.
How every i dont know how to get the edges of the screen/window. Could some one link info on how to do it or give some code snippits. Thx for an info that you give.
I am trying to find the handle of the child window for the Yes button in the User Account Control window so i can click it. This window has a structure with a few child windows with the same name.
Dim hwnd As IntPtr = FindWindow(Nothing, "User Account Control")
Dim hwnd2 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd, 0, "DirectUIHWND", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd3 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd2, 0, "CtrlNotifySink", vbNullString)
Dim hwnd4 As IntPtr = FindWindowEx(hwnd3, 0, "Button", "&Yes")
There are multiple CtrNotifySink with its own Button child window or other child windows. How do i search thru the different CtrNotifySink window to find the one that contain the Yes button so i can send a click to it? I do need to find it before i can send a click, right? because i try just sending it to the main window with sendmessage and nothing happen.I even try sending it directly to the handle found by spy++ of the yes button with bm click but nothing happen?
Excuse me for posting this, but I have searched both Google along with this forum before asking this question, maybe I'm not using the right keywords but I apologize if it's easy to find.I would like to know how one could close a third-party window (application) if a specified string was found in the window title.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to find all text from a slightly older application. The thing is, the old scripit from windows NT finds the text I need no problem, but I cant seem to get it myself.
I find the main window, and cycle through its children, but must be looking at something wrong. I am missing 2 things: The title of the app has the name, and then some status information, the status information does not show up on the window title info. The text in the application itself does not reveal itself to me either
Here is a code snippet of how I try to get the info out:
Private Sub gettext(ByVal hd As IntPtr)
Dim Hwnd As IntPtr = hd
'Alloc memory for the buffer that recieves the text

AcroHandle = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Acrobat - Adobe Acrobat Professional")
If (AcroHandle <> 0) Then
SetForegroundWindow(AcroHandle)

what I am trying to do its to automate a user interraction by code.First I have a button named "start" once pushed I navigate with webbrowser to download a file. What I try to do it is to find the window "File download" by his title name, I allready made a seperate thread to loop into to list of process until it found the window "File download"
Where I need help, it is with the process list. I try that code below but I don't see the process "File download" in the list.and once I found it I would like to use sendMessage() api to simulate the click of save.I would like to find another window after to catch the window "save as" and click save and if the window that ask for overwriting appear I would like to find it too and click yes.
Why I use webbrowser instead of httpwebrequest it is because the web site required to login, i try using cookie, etc. No success so I decided to use webbrowser, I navigate first into the login page, I login manually and once it is done I can click the button to start downloading. I want to make an automatic download loop, I have lot of files to download on that site, sometimes .doc and other times it is .pdf
I didn't found a way yet how to force webbrowser to ask for downloading .pdf instead of opening it in acrobat, if someone can help me for that point too

Find & replace by error is docked such that I cant see the code while I am using "Find".
I could not undock the window despite various attempts.
I'm trying to be able to get the caption of the currently active window. I've figured out that I should be using GetForegroundWindow, but when I use it I'm just getting a long string of numbers, which I think is the handle. How do I go from that to the actual caption?

we use a terminal emulator called facetwin to run our main unix based applicationswe want to attach a small document scanner and magnetic strip reader to the system this runs oncurrently we have a magnetic reader that emulates a keyboard so it sends keystrokes back to the unix app. however the new scanner does not.i can get around this by having the unix app send a special command that facetwin understands so it tells the local windows machine to run my vb application that controls the small document scannermy vb app then sendkey's back the relevant info.this is all great and works fine, yet i have a problemthere are 3copies of facetwin running at anyone time all are logged in as the same user but maybe processing diferent things.

View 2 RepliesI am in need of a small application, that will allways be topmost and will send keystrokes to the last active application (typically notepad or an explorer window). My problem is retrieving the current active form (or application), when my application is started up. Every search seems to return old and rather complex solutions using Win32 library functions, but I was kinda hoping, that .Net allowed for a neater and more simple solution.I need a code example or link on how to retrieve the currently active application window from another application just starting up.
