Control a program through another program [RESOLVED]

[Sir Loin]

I want to code a program that can control another program. For example, I want my program to have a command button or something that says "next" and when clicked the next track plays in winamp. I would really like to learn how to do this.

Thanks,
Sir Loin

Well, at a minimun you'd need to know the basic's of API, some of the type of things required would be:

Finding Windows,
Sending Windows Messages,
Getting Window Handles,
Possibly Sub-Classing (though, I'm not shure on this one).
And things of that nature.

If you can do that you should not have many problems

I can get the current song, I guess I'll just look at pscode for examples and learn from that.
