Aug 23, 2009I have a 3rd party program that puts up a pop up box and asks the user for input. In Spy++ the original program (I'll refer to this as Window A from now on) is a top level window, and the popup (Window B) is also a parent window. However, when I use FindWindow(Nothing, "Captcha Challenge") it returns 0. I've also used a code snippet from the forums

View 3 RepliesVS 2008 Creating An Over-Lay Window
Dec 17, 2011I was wondering if it is possible in VB8 to create a GUI that over-lays over a full-screen application (IE, a movie full screen, games or something that takes over the entire screen)
What I want to know is it possible to be watching a movie and click a button and without minimizing or losing focus on the movie a GUI is displayed. This could be handy in many ways to me to create say.. a clock that I can display so I don't have to minimize etc. to check.
I don't want to interact with the GUI, just display it!

VS 2008 Getting Text From Another Window?
May 19, 2009I searched the forums to look for an answer and I found several good exemples, but unfortunately, none worked for me..I want to make a little program to read an Edit field on another window. I understand the basic. I need to get the handle of the main window (using FindWindow) and then find the handle of the Edit field (Using FindWindowEx). So far, so good... I think I managed to get those two correctly doing:
Declare Auto Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal strClassName As String, ByVal strWindowText As String) As Long Declare Auto Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long
Dim hWindow, hText As Long
hWindow = FindWindow("", "Text")
hText = FindWindowEx(hWindow, 0, "Edit", vbNullString)
(Yes the window title is Text :P). Ok now when I do a MsgBox(hText) it does show a long number (not 0) so I believe it found the Edit field (but I'm not so sure on how to verify if it's the right number... tried Spy++ with no luck).Now, this is where I'm stuck. I know I have to use SendMessage() with WM_GETTEXTLENGTH and WM_GETTEXT which I tried maybe in 100 different ways and none of them worked. I either got an OverflowException or my String would stay empty.

View 12 RepliesFind The Handle Of The Child Window For The Yes Button In The User Account Control Window?
Mar 20, 2010I 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")

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?
