hmM I guess a simple quesiton, findwindow

[scr0p]

How would I find a button on the nickList of IRC? or find a button on AIM and press it (using SendMessage())

I know how to use FindWindow to find hWnd using classname or caption of lets say notepad, but after I have hwnd I dont know what to do, also on AIM, the classname for some things are not strings, they are like "#000000 (dialog)" and hWnd has letters (hex I guess, using spy++)

Use FindWindowEx to find the subwindows i.e buttons or textfields. Using this handle you use SendMessage..

Ok k0ol, what Message do I send? WM_LMOUSEBUTTON or something?

[crptcblade]

For a click, send a down message, and an up message.

Private Const WM_LBUTTONDOWN = &H201
Private Const WM_LBUTTONUP = &H202

Ok, thanks, this is wehre I am up to, I found mIRC's main window, then I used FindwindowEx to find the channel bar (it is a bar on the side that holds buttons,I want to click one) the classname is mIRC_SwitchBar. I found the switch bar but I cant send a click to it, which button will get clicked? Now that I have hWnd of switchbar, how do I find a specific button on it?

How would I find a button on AIM? they all have the same classname. (in a chat window, the Send, Warn, Block buttons)
