The above article is very interesting, and makes me wonder if there is a way in VB to also determine the state and location of the form belonging to another application that is active, and attach a new form (could be just a dumb display of text or graphics) from my application to it? Regards, sk

Going a step farther. Can I control an application using VB.NET as if I was interacting with that application? I have a CCTV application that monitors 4 cameras. The application will take a jpg snapshot by right clicking the image and selecting "capture". Can I use VB.NET to automate this process by interacting with the application to select the image then input the required right click selection? Years ago I use to automate software installation using a program called WinBatch that could interact with a running application to control it.

Hi There is a bug in this code hWnd = CType(p(0).MainWindowHandle, Integer) Should read hWnd = p(0).MainWindowHandle.ToInt32

Hello, I am new to VB .Net. I have read this article and found it helpful. I wonder if someone can tell me what to do to accomplish following automation: I have some buttons on a webpage to control a device remotely. I would like to be able to press the buttons from another (my own) VB.Net program. This article tell me how to create a handle to IE page. Can someone tell me how to access the controls on a window from a seperate application? Thaks in advance.
