help me getting a specific control (using api)

I dont have code in vb6 but here is the code in visual c++

first to display the room search do this

HWND parent =::FindWindow(“SEINFELD_SUPERMAN”,NULL);
::PostMessage(parent, WM_COMMAND,(WPARAM) 32834,(LPARAM) 0);
Sleep(100); //here let the time room dialog search list to be loaded

HWND WTL_SplitterWindow,hdlg,hedit,button;
HWND parent =::FindWindow(“ATL:0053D390”,NULL);
WTL_SplitterWindow=::FindWindowEx(parent,0,”WTL_SplitterWindow”,NULL);
WTL_SplitterWindow=::FindWindowEx(WTL_SplitterWindow,0,”WTL_SplitterWindow”,NULL);
WTL_SplitterWindow=::FindWindowEx(WTL_SplitterWindow,0,”WTL_SplitterWindow”,NULL);
hdlg=::FindWindowEx(WTL_SplitterWindow,0,”#32770″,NULL);
hedit=::FindWindowEx(hdlg,0,”Edit”,NULL); //here is the search field
button=::FindWindowEx(hdlg,0,”Button”,NULL); //here is the button go

//here simulate mouse down mouse up before send room name to field search room
::SendMessage((HWND)hedit,WM_LBUTTONDOWN,1,1);
::SendMessage((HWND)hedit,WM_LBUTTONUP,1,1);

Sleep(100);
::SendMessage(hedit,WM_SETTEXT,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM)”myroom”);

//here simulate mouse down mouse up on button go
::SendMessage((HWND)button,WM_LBUTTONDOWN,1,1);
::SendMessage((HWND)button,WM_LBUTTONUP,1,1);

like method said, we dont know what is your code, so we cannot guessing. u can convert that code to your vb6 code. I get sick with vb6 so i dont code with vb6 or vbnet no more 😆

here is my example onclicked on that button

/here simulate mouse down mouse up on button go
::SendMessage((HWND)button,WM_LBUTTONDOWN,1,1);
::SendMessage((HWND)button,WM_LBUTTONUP,1,1);

send message mousedown mouseup to that button and the two last parameters 1,1 are the pos x,y of the mouse on that button. I dont try with vb but maybe someone here has tried it. let see if someone has done it. loco maybe…

bwt do you find the correct button handle.

using the same call i.e. :
Call SendMessageLong(button, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_SPACE, 0&)
Call SendMessageLong(button, WM_KEYUP, VK_SPACE, 0&)

i use this in VB2005:

Dim status as Integer

status = SendMessage(button, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_SPACE, 0)

status = SendMessage(button, WM_KEYUP, VK_SPACE, 0)

But this is like you said, used for a different button (but you would think that it would work for the button you want as long as you get “button” to equel the correct handle).
