Find button on external App...??

[incognico]

I wish to query an application from my VB program to find out if a specific command button is present (The buttons vary with the state of the application). I can get the HWnd of the relevant application, but now I cannot seem to figure out how to detect if the button is there.

Does anyone have some code that would allow me to do this..? I have found some examples of clicking buttons in external apps, but only for VB3... and they do not seem to port very well :|

Any suggestions appreciated.

Use the FindWindowEx api to look for the button if you know the text that will be on it. For more info on FindWindowEx goto
