    Getting a component handle from an external program?

    A tricky topic, methinks. There's another program running aside from my own that I need to get the handle of a specific component on it. I don't have access to that program aside from while it's runnning. I have no idea how to do this. :/

    Is there a way to get a list of handles, or something? Or request a certain handle through win32? Grah, I'm stumped.

    Thanks very much!

    the way i would do this is to use FindWindow to find the main window your looking for then use EnumChildWindows for that parent window

    EnumChildWindows
    FindWindow

    good luck.
