how to send text to a window message

[nareth]

i want to be able to send text to hwnd. how do i do this

[Hack]

hWnd is a Long that windows assigns to a window. Windows can, and does change this hWnd depending on what it decides it needs to do with respect to resource allocation. You can send text to an application, but not its handle.

What exactly is it you want to do? As Hack explained already the hWnd is simply a handle to a window, any type of window incl. ListBoxes, CommandButtons and so on. Do you want to change the Caption on a control in another application? Do you want to draw a text on a window that has a device context? Please elaborate otherwise nobody will be able to help you.

Like I have already said...What is the hWnd of?
What text do you want to send?

You MUST elaborate on your question instead of repeating yourself over and over again.
We are aware you want to send text to the handle of a window, and the only way to do this is by using API, so we assumed that already.

What is the hWnd of and what text?
Is the hWnd a combobox, text box, listbox...what?
They are different commands for different things.
You cannot just send random text to a random hWnd, nothing will happen.

Option Explicit

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
Private Const WM_SETTEXT = &HC

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strWoof As String
    strWoof = "Mooose"
    SendMessage Text1.hwnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0&, ByVal strWoof
End Sub

Out of interest did you try searching for "API and text and textbox"??? HUNDREDS of results.
