Windows Application Handles
Hello everyone - I just began learning Win32 API programming and I want to be able to write scripts to other programs that are currently running on my system. So here are my questions:
1) Does C++ have a scripting language to do this?
2) How can I find the handles of other windows running on my system and integrate them into my application that I am running to manipulate that program?
3) Once I find the handle of the window how can I send text or commands to that program?
I just have finished with the creation of a basic Window so - for the reasons of why I want this information - my program involves some of these factors so for future reference it would greatly help me do what I need to do - TY
If you can answer any of my questions please send your responses to my screenname at [email protected] thanks!

C++ has no such scripting........You can use COM interfaces exposed by the program you are trying to control....but that depends on the program and what it offers...and its a fairly difficult thing to do in C++

Depends on what you are trying to find.....if its a window, then FindWindow()...itf its a control, FindWindowEx()

You can send messages to indows with SendMessage()
Before trying any of this stuff, take more time to inderstand the framework......otherwise you will have difficulty getting far
