    Stop a button's process

    Hail,

    I need to stop the function from a button on a app that isn't mine because it keeps producing a run time error. I also want to launch an app I made when the button is pressed. How can I achieve this? I do not want to disable it since I'll need it to launch.

    Hmm.

    Looks like he wants this to happen:

    1. User click button in some program (not his).
    2. The button's typical event does _not_ take place.
    3. His program is lauched and carrys out some action.

    Phailak, I don't have a clue how to do that, sorry, but Im sure someone here will. Good luck.

    Subclass the button or window, maybe?

    YOu can't subclass anotherprocess. Not safely anyway. If you try, be prepared to crash, OFTEN.

    Hail,

    Thanx for the replies guys,

    FYI... This is how I did it.
    I hid the button I wanted to get rid of, then created my own with the same properties and just launched my app with shellexecute when the window or button I created got focus (checked that with a timer at 100 interval)
    That's all folks, works great
