[RESOLVED] VB 6 Class Name For FindWindow

[Slyke]

When using the FindWindow API, what do i put in the Class Name Parameter? I'm targetting a Visual Basic 6 Program.

So far i've found 2 possible out comes: ThunderFormDC, and ThunderRT6Main, both have proven false when tested.

Should i just use vbNullString?

The third parameter is lpszClass. That is where the class name would go.

? FindWindow only has two arguments.

Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32.dll" Alias "FindWindowA" ( _
              ByVal lpClassName As String, _ 
              ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

You should be using MS Spy++ to get the actual class names instead of trial and error

if you are targeting the FORM and not a child of the form
see Megatron's post

just change the "My Application" to the caption of the target form

Yeah i couldn't find a third parameter =S

But thanks for the link though. This is why it wasn't working! I was using ThunderRT6Form in the IDE
