AoL API...

[PunK]

Hey if you still use AoL *fake cough* sucks *fake cough* could you give me the API for the PW box where you login to AoL..

[Megatron]

API for PW box? Be more specific. What do you want to do with it? Get the window text? If so, does the GetwindowText message work?

[PunK]

I did specify... I said the PW box where you login,,,in other words the box where you put your PW to get on to AoL.........and I just want the API for...

[Megatron]

could you give me the API for the PW box where you login to AoL

Yes, I know that part, but what kind of API? There are many different functions for the password box? e.g: GETTEXT, SETTEXT, GETTEXTLENGTH etc.

*Steps forward* I'm an AOL user .

Here you go:

Private Declare Function FindWindowEx _
Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As _
Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, _
ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    
    Dim aolframe As Long
    Dim mdiclient As Long
    Dim aolchild As Long
    Dim aoledit As Long
    aolframe = FindWindowEx(0, 0, "aol frame25", vbNullString)
    mdiclient = FindWindowEx(aolframe, 0&, "mdiclient", vbNullString)
    aolchild = FindWindowEx(mdiclient, 0&, "aol child", vbNullString)
    aoledit = FindWindowEx(aolchild, 0&, "_aol_edit", vbNullString)

End Sub

By the way Megatron, I think he meant handle, not API, I could be brong, but there is no API function for the AOL PW box (.).

[Megatron]

Ahhh, it makes sense now I thought he wanted some sort of API to get the text for the window.

[Matthew Gates]

In order to understand an AOL question, you must have AOL Megatron.

But I suggest that you don't get it. It sucks. I mean, it's okay, since you have to use it. But if you are on a cable/dsl/t1/t3/oc...,etc. STAY WITH IT!

I had a program that all alowed you to find the password that is stored, such as for the internet, but is displayed as ****'s. I would like to recreate this pogram any ideas on how to do this.

P.S. You had to drag a icon over the text box.
