Thanks a lot REmy this worked wel. I had been following an example on I
found on google group that apparently wasn't well made :P
I have one more little question though.
The "click" on the menu item works and a message box opos up. I cna get
it's HWND just fine and put text in the text-boxes just fine, how ever,
the "OK" button is grayed out and wont respon d to BM_CLICK. If I
manaully go to said message box with my mouse and manually type a
character in the field it enables the button. But it doesn't enable it
when I insert text from my program.
Is there any way to either "enable" the button using WINAPI (I looked
through SDK help file but could not find anything) or send a message to
make it think actual typing has occured that trigers the enabling of the
button.
BtnHwnd = FindWindowEx(hwnd, NULL, "CRolloverButton", "&Send");
ShowMessage(String().sprintf("Send Button: 0x%08X", BtnHwnd));
SendMessage(BtnHwnd, BM_CLICK, NULL, NULL);
BtnHwnd in the ShowMessage box is non zero so it looks like it find it
right, though if I replace "&Send" with "&Cancel", which is not
disabled, that doesn't seem to work (the box doesn't close.)
Is is possible that BM_CLICK is being ignored?
Thanks again.
