duplicate classnames? - SOLVED - GO AWAY SANCHEZ

[Sacofjoea]

Im trying to send text to a textbox with api, easy. The problem is, there are 2 text boxes in the program and they have the same classname and same text. The only thing that keeps them independant is their hwnds.
Problem is, I am getting the first textbox's hwnd and not the second one, which is what I need.
Is it possible to like skip the first result my app gets and then continue to the next one?

Heres what im using:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
hwndd = FindWindow("parentCLASS", vbNullString)
MsgBox FindWindowEx(hwndd, 0, "textCLASS", vbNullString)
End Sub

which gives me the first textbox's hwnd.

Try this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
Dim hwndd&, hwndd2&
 
hwndd = FindWindow("parentCLASS", vbNullString)
hwndd2 = FindWindowEx(hwndd, 0, "textCLASS", vbNullString)
MsgBox FindWindowEx(hwndd, hwndd2, "textCLASS", vbNullString)
End Sub

Using OE in your coding wouldn't hurt either.
