Programmatically press a button on another application (C, Windows)

Question

I\'m trying to use the following code to press a button on my other application:

HWND ButtonHandle;
if( (wnd = FindWindow(0, \"Do you want to save?\")) )
{   
           


        

Answer 1

You can use sendkeys (as tr3 said) to send mouse clicks, which is different than using SendMessage. It is also less direct and more hack-ish, but is useful for automation (in VBS).

Also, just a guess but the problem could be that your message handling is broken somewhere by not calling the base class member. Example:

void CMyClass::OnMessageY(CWnd *cwnd)
{
    CBaseClass::OnMessageY(cwnd);
    //... my code
}
