write to other apps' textbox

[philanimetv]

hi, i have a program that reads the string from App-A, then processed by my App, and send the result to another App-B. My problem is how can i send this string of text to App-B? using spy++ i found my target is "RichEdit20A" control and its Caption is Blank (""). using cheat engine, i found the string of address 12DDCC is changed whenever i edit the textbox, but changing the value of this address directly does not change it at all. I think sendmessage api may do the work but i dont know how to translate these codes/address to work. thanks!

SendMessage with the WM_SETTEXT const is what you are looking for... and here recently, I saw an example of this... So I'm betting a search of this forum or with your friends (yahoo, google, ask, answers, bing) should net you an example or two...



Good Luck

Yes if you search the forum for Dynamic Data Exchange, DDE you will find answers. It maybe old but it works a treat.
