Faking mouse clicks from one app to another app

[SeanOConnor]

I'm trying to write an app that can send mouse click messages to Internet Explorer. I've got the handle to IE's Window using GetWindow("IEFrame", NULL) and I've also got handles to the child Windows with EnumChildWindows(...). But I've had no luck with trying to do a SendMessage(hWndIE, message, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, lParam) to any of them. I can use the Window handles that I've got to do simple things like make IE draw a message box or WM_CLOSE but that's it.

I desperately need help on this and I'd be *very* grateful if anyone has any ideas!

Sean.

How about BM_CLICK? I have a similar issue when I want to simulate the "click event" on a "OK" button (of course it is a child). So I did this
lResult0 = SendMessage(hOkay, BM_CLICK, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&)
lResult1 = SendMessage(hOkay, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&)
lResult2 = SendMessage(hOkay, WM_LBUTTONUP, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&)


Yes, all three of them! I hope this help even though the syntax is in VB.

Cheers
