Handle to status bar.

[elziko]

Assuming I have the handle to a particular window, how would I use this to get the handle to the StatusBar inside that window?

Cheers,

Statusbar1.hwnd will return the handle to the statusbar control

Thanks, however you are assuming we are talking about a StatusBar called "StatusBar1" in a VB project.

However I need to get control over a status bar in a compiled program; Outlook 98 in this case.

The Outlook Object model does not expose the application's status bar and I want to write text to it.

I can use the FindWindow API to get a handle to the Outlook window.

I can use the SetWindowText API with the handle of the status bar to write text to the bar.

What I need is someway of getting a handle to the StatusBar by refering to the handle to its window.

Any ideas?
