Unfortunately, that turns out to be virtually impossible. Most applications draw their windows by putting up a collection of controls within windows, so that each toolbar button (for example) is a separate window. The toolbar buttons in Office applications don't do that. For efficiency, they draw all of their toolbars into one big bitmap. If you use spyxx to look at Word's window structure, you'll see that each toolbar and command bar is one big window, with no subwindows. So, although you could learn that the user clicked at coordinate (223,17) of the "Standard" command bar, there is simply no way to figure out what button was actually at that location. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
