WindowFromPoint

[alexandros]

hello i used this vb6 code in order to get the handle of any window from a point.

Dim myhwnd As Long
    Dim typPt As POINTAPI
    Dim hwnd As Long
     typPt.x = MY_X
     typPt.y = MY_Y
    myhwnd = WindowFromPoint(typPt.x, typPt.y)

now the problem is that this code seems not to work with vb.net.
I could get a handle to any window even if it did not belong to the form.
Now the following code can find the handle a control that does only exist on the form ,i think. Is there a way to get a handle to any control of any windows window ?

thanks !

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim pt As System.Drawing.Point
        pt.X = 500
        pt.Y = 100
        Dim co As Control
        co = Me.GetChildAtPoint(pt)
        If Not co Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox(co.Name)
        Else
            MsgBox("NO CONTROL FOUND", MsgBoxStyle.ApplicationModal)
        End If
 
 
    End Sub
