Aug 21, 2009
I am opening a PDF file in Acrobat then am sending the Menu keys using sendkeys.AcroHandle gets the value but the send keys always working with my .Net IDE. It is opening the .Net IDE file open menu. It supposed to open Acrobat File open.
AcroXAVDoc.Open(FileName, "Acrobat")
AcroHandle = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Acrobat - Adobe Acrobat Professional")
If (AcroHandle <> 0) Then
SetForegroundWindow(AcroHandle)
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("%(FO)")
End If

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?

I 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
[Code]....

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

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.

I am needing to get the browser height and width of the browser window with vb. I can get these values by setting an ASP.Net hidden input control using javascript, after the page has loaded and a post back is done. I need to be able to get these values when the page initially loads so I can create an image based on those values.

I've got to the stage where I want to make changes to my application so that all of my forms appear to the user as a single window.
I have a main Form with a menu bar which opens up three separate forms. Only one forms is visible at any time.
One way to do this, that I can think of, is to place all the controls from each of the "auxiliary" forms on a panel contained in the main form and then show and hide the panels, when needed. I can envisage this being a big headache though.
Another way would be to give each form a menu bar and make it look like the main form so that the user would not know the difference (with a bit of luck).
I just wonder if there are better ways to do this. Maybe if I could incorporate one form into another form?
