[solved] Add Item to ListBox on Another Application...

[wpearsall]

Hi,

How do I use the SendMessage API to add a string to a listbox on another application?

I have searched the forums and got nothing.

(i hope at least) this is possible?

Tnx.

Private Const LB_ADDSTRING = &H180
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
    Call SendMessage(SomehWnd, LB_ADDSTRING, (-1), "Test")
 
End Sub

Is there any special way i need to format the text before i send it?

because it isnt adding to the list as i send it


This:
---------------------------
This is my text to add to the list
---------------------------

Becomes:
---------------------------
ÔÊ
---------------------------

Thanks

Try putting ByVal in front of the string, maybe.
