Hi,

the handle of an open window can be found by

WHandle := FindWindow(nil, 'WindowTitle');

But I could not find solutions to:

- How to find out the handles of  buttons and edit fields on that window?

- How to press and release a button on that window?

- how to replace the text of an edit field (e.g. in the "save as" dialog of
WORD")?


Knowing this it should be possible to "remote control" e.g. the "save as"
dialog of an

application.

Any hint or code example would be helpful (D5).


Thanks in advance,
Markus
