Hello,
I have the following project where I need to simulate button clicks on
and pasting of text to an external application using my Delphi created
application. With the great Peter Below + Google Groups I have this code:
SendMessage(hEnterKey, BM_CLICK, 0, 0);
SendMessage(hTextBox, WM_SETTEXT, 0, Integer(PChar('Test')));
SendMessage(hOK, BM_CLICK, 0, 0);
SendMessage(hCancel, BM_CLICK, 0, 0);
The code works great...except when the application is either minimized
or hidden behind another window. When that happens my application just
exits out of the method.
When a window(control) is hidden, is the handle not available? Is there
another way I can still do what I need to do while the application is
minimized? Maybe a "detect hidden windows" flag or something?
Thanks for your help in advance!
