Thread: Help clicking a command button

Wrong forum, and your question is a bit weird.

Regardless, you're going to need the EnableWindow() and SendMessage() functions. When you recieve the message that the mouse is over the button, you need to send the message WM_COMMAND with LOWORD(wParam) set to the ID of the button to the window containing the button. Then handle the WM_COMMAND message you just sent.

erm, if you're really that new to C++, you may not want to worry about that right this moment...

No. If you don't know how to program in C or C++ already, you don't stand a chance with the Windows API. Give yourself at least 6 months to get good with C/C++ (your choice), and then at least another 6 months to get good with the Windows API, assuming you're a fast and dedicated learner. There's nothing we can do to help you do that with what you know now short of writing the program for you, and we don't do that.

Ok Edit, I have this so far

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "windows.h"


int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
HWND hWndProSpam;
HWND hWndButton;
hWndProSpam = FindWindowEx(NULL, NULL, "ThunderRT6FormDC", "Pro Spam 1");
hWndButton = FindWindowEx(hWndProSpam, NULL, "ThunderRT6CommandButton", NULL);
EnableWindow(hWndProSpam, 1);
EnableWindow(hWndButton, 1);
SendMessage(hWndButton, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, NULL, NULL);
SendMessage(hWndButton, WM_LBUTTONUP, NULL, NULL);

	return 0;
}

Is there a way I can make it think it's been clicked? Because that still grays out the button.

Try the Windows forum.
