Send Clicks to Embedded exe

[CooterBrown]

I have a presentation (I beleived compiled in Adobe Director - not done in house) and some users want to play this presentation during their trade shows in a loop. However, at the end of the presentation, a window appears with a button that is captioned "Click to Quit". I can loop the presentation while embedded in an ole object or shell command, but is there a way to send a click to the presentation so that the presentation will die and the loop can move forward?

If shelled, you will need the handle to the window (FindWindow will work). From there you will need to enumchildwindows looking for the dialog box. Use Spy++ to get the details you are looking for. After that, use SendMessage with I believe the WM_LBUTTONDOWN/WM_LBUTTONUP messages to send the click to the button (Window).

Also, using your friends (yahoo, google, ask, answers, bing) to search for vb6 and the api name will return some useful examples.


Good Luck
