Hi All, I'm able to do it for a calculator window. Thanks a lot.
But I get stuck, when there is a window inside a window. I couldn't get the handle for the inside window. For example, in Adobe photo shop, we have so many windows inside the main window. I've no clue how to get the handle for those windows. Help will be greatly appreciated. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Hruska Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 12:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-prog] Can we access menus using C program?

Karthikeyan, Menus under Windows are generally "black boxes". I suggest using a tool like Spy++ or Winspector Spy to watch the window of the calculator process. Specifically, you are looking for WM_COMMAND messages sent as a result of clicking a menu item. Each WM_COMMAND is unique for each menu item (and will rarely change its value between software builds/versions), so all you have to do is use SendMessage() to replay the command from your application. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
