something with _T being unicode or something. I read about it somewhere, but i'm not too uber leet with coding. All I know is that you must replace _T with Text("")
so it should be this...
int main(int argc, char **argv;
{
HANDLE notepad = FindWindow(0, Text("Untitled - Notepad"));
HANDLE dialog = FindWindowEx(notepad, 0, 0, Text("Open"));
HANDLE edit = FindWindowEx(dialog, 0, Text("EDIT"), 0);
::SetWindowText(edit, Text("ABRACADABRA"));
return(0);
}
That should fix your problem. I also know that if you can define _T, then it will work, but try to read up somewhere else. Sorry I don't know much, but that should get you moving.

Hi Ismaele,
I don't see this menu option when I open Notepad. Can you show me how you are opening this child dialog?
Best Wishes,

Yes,
it is like you described !
Superman posted me this code (after the last include) :
------------------------------------
#include <condefs.h>;
#include <windows.h>;
#include <stdio.h>;
#include <string.h>;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
HANDLE notepad = FindWindow(0, _T("Untitled - Notepad"));
HANDLE dialog = FindWindowEx(notepad, 0, 0, _T("Open"));
HANDLE edit = FindWindowEx(dialog, 0, _T("EDIT"), 0);
::SetWindowText(edit, _T("ABRACADABRA"));
return(0);
}
------------------------------------
but the compiler show me this error : [C++Error] provaIndiano.cpp(11): Call to undefined function '_T'.

i think above steps may be not enough for your requirements, if you have the same requirements as i mentioned above reply then following steps are enough for your goal.
1. FindWindowEx to find the notepad mentioned above.
2. Use SetCursor and mouse_event APIs to create a automated click on the menu File.
3. Generate anotherClick to get open from the menu.
4. GetWindowFromPoint API to get the handle of the open Window.
5. Get the handle of open window, from which you can find Edit for file input.
6. Get the handle of the edit as mentioned above code and set text to the edit as mentioned above code.

Using what coordinates?

Coordinates are the offset from Notepad's ( top , left ) till Menu "File". Which is a fixed value for all the notepad's.

Assuming a certain screen resolution and font size.

1. YES
2. NO, on the menu "Formato" (i don't know what is the english equivalent - in italian language 'Formato' mean for 'format')
3. YES
5. YES, but for the edit-field 'type of character'
6. YES
Tnx !

That sure sounds like alot of work. Here is how I would have recommended opening the second menu item in Notepad:
HWND pWnd;
pWnd = ::FindWindow(NULL, "Untitled - Notepad");
if(NULL != pWnd)
{
::PostMessage(pWnd, WM_COMMAND, MAKEWPARAM(2,0), 0);
}

Hi,
I am wondering if you have a derived CDialog
Class and call the default CDialog class thru a
intializer list passing the nidTemplate would
that create a Window handle ...m_hWnd and in that case the only reason to call
::Create is to make it modless
Thankx

Unless i misunderstand your question: no, it wouldn't.

The CDialog class constructor does not create any windows. Windows are not created until you Create them.

Please correct I am wrong
The CDialog constructer with no paramters e.g. CDialog() is meant for modeless
Later The Create with the nidTemplate Creates the or Attaches the Window
for Modal the CDialog Constructer with the resource id Creates or Attaches the Window
the Window is alive DoModal just Displays
thankx

Hi ForNow,
ForNow wrote: The CDialog constructer with no paramters e.g. CDialog() is meant for modeless
The empty CDialog() constructor is not "meant for modeless". The CDialog could potentially be modal if DoModal() is called. Modality is not directly related to the constructor.
ForNow wrote: Later The Create with the nidTemplate Creates the or Attaches the Window
Yes, this is correct.
ForNow wrote: for Modal the CDialog Constructer with the resource id Creates or Attaches the Window

No, this is incorrect. Take for example:
<pre>CDialog Dlg(IDD_ABOUTBOX,this);</pre><br />
<br />
All you are doing here is allocating the CDialog object and assigning the template resource ID. The window handle will be NULL until it is created.<br />
<br />
Best Wishes,<br />

Okay, I need to apologize to people who I have given a bad time and I truly regret it because I need your help with problems with the project that I can rely on you guys to help.
I have been trying to get this to work but its giving me nightmares. I am trying get the Win32 client to launch into full screen but I don't know where in the source code I need to place it exactly.
I know the code is:
<br />
SetWindowPos(..)<br />
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN / SM_CYSCREEN)
It's just finding the place on the source code to place it.
Thanks
Andrew McIntyre

You need to put this in your OnCreate() procedure, i.e. where you handle the WM_CREATE message.

I don't get it.
So the full screen code should go where the WM_CREATE message is.
