How do you set focus to an external window

[bangalibhai]

I am running a VB program. How can I control an external window from VB. For example, I fire off IE and it strats out with a window for downloading a file. Is there any way to control that window.

Thanks.

You could try APPActivate

What kind of control are you looking for?
If you have a handle to the window, you can do pretty much with the window you want to. You can't control the application with that though.

Thanks, I found a FAQ which shows exactly what I wanted to do.
