got a handle to IE window - now how do I write to it?
OK, I figured out how to get a "handle" to an already-opened IE window. But now how do I enter text in that window? I need to somehow combine the code I previously posted with this...
Declarations
Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (Byval lpClassName As String, Byval lpWindowName As Long) As Long
Dim hwnd As Long
Const vbinformation = 64 ' Remove if running in native Visual Basic
Declare Function GetClassName Lib "user32" Alias "GetClassNameA" (Byval hWnd As Long, Byval lpClassName As String, Byval nMaxCount As Long) As Long
Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" (Byval hwnd As Long, Byval nCmdShow As Long) As Long
Click Event
Sub Click(Source As Button)
REM Call the FindWindow API; this API returns a window handle.
'hwnd = FindWindow( "Internet Explorer", 0& )
hwnd=FindWindow("IEFrame", 0&)
REM See if you were able to obtain the Window handle.
If hwnd <> 0 Then ' If not zero a window handle was obtained.
Msgbox "Successfully obtained Window Handle (HWND) for " & "IE.", vbInformation, "Got Handle"
ShowWindow hwnd, 3
fActivateWindowClass = True
Else
Msgbox "Could not obtain Window Handle (HWND) for IE.", vbInformation, "Failed To Get Handle"
End If
