My apologies.

   // First text field (both text fields are of class "Edit".)
   HWND EditHwnd = FindWindowEx(hwnd, EditHwnd, "Edit", NULL);
   if (!EditHwnd) return;
   SendMessage(EditHwnd, WM_SETTEXT, (WPARAM)50,
      (LPARAM)SingleLine->Text.c_str());

   // 2nd text field.
   EditHwnd = FindWindowEx(hwnd, EditHwnd, "Edit", NULL);
   if (!EditHwnd) return;
   SendMessage(EditHwnd, WM_SETTEXT, (WPARAM)50,
      (LPARAM)MultiLine->Lines->Text.c_str());

I just tried both

   SendMessage(hwnd, WM_COMMAND, 0, 0);

and

   SendMessage(hwnd, BN_CLICKED, 0, 0);

I even tried

   EnableWindow(hwnd, TRUE);

before both of those calls and it still doesn't submit the box (as if 
"OK" is clicked.) If I try using the Cancel button intead it doesn't 
work either. The box just stays there. If I manually click either button 
they work fine.
