WinAble.h help

OK..! I know I use WinAble.h to send text to a target window, but how? With which function?

My best guess is SendMessage(); , but I dont get it... You have to pass the handle, then 3 unsigned ints? (Or Null/0) How do I use this to send text to a target process/window?

I am trying to use this in a macro type program for a game.

Thanks!

Code:

---

SendMessage(hWindow, WM_SETTEXT,  0, szText);

---

Where szText is a text string such as

Code:

---

char szText[]="hello world";

---

Thanks a lot..!

Umm so what would WM_SETTEXT be? Can I just pass null in there? Also, to send like the tab key or shift or left error ect..ect.. Would I just type TAB without quotes ect.. ect..? Is there a reference guide somewhere?

Thanks again

WM_SETTEXT is the name of the message, type it as it is. You can send atab by putting a \t in the string. To do a new line use \r\n.
If you want to send arrow keys to a control then you can use the WM_KEYUP/KEY_DOWN message, there is also a simulate keys api function but I don't remember it's name.
Look up edit controls on http://msdn.microsoft.com

Another problem arises =(

Code:

---

void CProcess::SendText()
{
        HWND hWnd;

        hWnd = FindWindow(0, "Nexus");
       
        ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW);
        SetForegroundWindow(hWnd);
       
        Delay(10000); //in milliseconds
        char szText[]="hello world";
        SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, szText);

        return;
}

It's telling me I have to cast szText.. When I do that I get no errors, but nothing displays in hWnd (Nexus)...

Code:

---

--------------------Configuration: Macro - Win32 Debug--------------------

Main.cpp
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\macro\apis.h(141) : error C2664: 'SendMessageA' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'char [12]' to 'long'
