Buchman" <tbuchmanPLEASE(at sign)REMOVEcitycenter.org> wrote in message news:3eb64fa0$1@newsgroups.borland.com... > Here's a fine comprehensive answer by Gambit: Not quite as conprehensive as needed - it doesn't explain how to obtain the HWND for the button in the first place. You have to do that first before you can do anything else with it. Use FindWindow() to get the HWND for the main window of the application, and then either EnumChildWindows() or GetDlgItem() to get the HWND of the particular button on that window. In the case of GetDlgItem(), however, you need to know the button's ID first, which you can obtain beforehand using spy tools likw Borland's WinSight or Microsoft's Spy++ utilities, and then hard-code that ID into your code.
