      XPost: microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion, microsoft.public.vb       From: nobody@cox.net              You don't need the ID. EnumChildWindows will get all the information that       you need, and you can use WM_GETTEXT to get the text. The ID generally stays       the same between compiles, but the developer can change it at whim, so it's       not a fool proof method. The class name of the window generally gives you       the type of the window or control, so you can just match the class name, and       perhaps use GetParent, GetWindowRect, GetClientRect, to get the       relationships between windows and their position relative to each other.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
