    Text=new char[length];
    SendMessage(Edit_Enter,WM_GETTEXT,(WPARAM)length+1 ,(LPARAM)Text);
    Window_Handle=GetNextWindow(Current_Handle,GW_HWND NEXT);
    if(Window_Handle==NULL)
    MessageBox(NULL,"Noting","sheit",MB_OK);
    else
    MessageBox(NULL,"Handle","Done!",MB_OK);

    if(EnumChildWindows(Window_Handle,EnumFunc,NULL)== 0)
    {
    MessageBox(NULL,"Not good","$$$$",MB_OK);
    }

    }

    BOOL CALLBACK EnumFunc(HWND hwnd,LPARAM lParam)

    char * Title=NULL;
    int TLength=GetWindowTextLength(hwnd);
    int cp=GetWindowText(hwnd,Title,TLength+1);
    MessageBox(NULL,Title,"hmmm",MB_OK);
    Edit_Handle=FindWindowEx(Window_Handle,NULL,"Edit" ,Title);
    if(Edit_Handle!=NULL)
    SendMessage(Edit_Handle,WM_SETTEXT,(WPARAM)0,(LPAR AM)Text);

    Sorry, I don't have the answer, but just to let you know, this should be on the Windows Board.

    And use code tags. -Look at the top of the board where it says "Posting Code? Read This!"

    I'm sure it's possible to "get to" another program's dialog box... I've done it with a scripting language (WinBatch).
