Will this work if you haven't got a clue where the dialog box will appear?
Example: I was just installing a new software package, and it gave the text
"Dialog", "Next". So basically, I got the class of the parent window, then
the Current control's name, but none of the text within the parent window!
As you stated, there are a lot of dialog boxes that don't read
automatically, so how do you set a frame around the dialog when you have no
way of knowing where an application is going to place the next dialog it
sends to the screen?
Thanks,
Dennis Brown
