Noob: How to cast a hwnd into an object? 1

[stebboko]

I'm just trying to set the focus to an edit box in another running application - so I've enumerated all the windows, found the right application, then enumerated its child windows to find the edit boxes handle.

Question - now I've got it's handle, how can I set focus to it? Can I somehow cast the handle into an edit box control, and then use the control object's setfocus method?

Thx

try

Private Declare Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

Thanks Justin - it worked a treat.
