how can access other controls such as button, textbox etc. in an other application from C#. For example I want to design a form that has a combo box with some data in it, and by choosing an Item from the combo box, that item will be copied to the search box of Internet Explorer (for example).

With extreme difficulty.
Controlling another appication requires you to use Win32 API functions to search for windows, then search those windows for other windows, representing buttons and other controls, to find the one you want, get it's window handle, craft an appropriate window message to send to it and then send the message. There is also no guarantee that the control you're "talking" to will respond to the message you send.
IE complicates this even further, because now you have to use an entirely different method, using IE's Document Object Model, to get at the controls on a web form.

SO that's possible...... but a little hard as you say. can you mention some basic information for solving this problem. I mean what background should I have to do this.
and thank you very much for your reply.

You need the Win32 API functions FindWindowEx and SendMessage at a minimum. You've got enough to Google with and find examples on how to use them.

Hi,
FWIW, you could tackle your particular example in quite some different ways:
1.
for Google, you can come up with the URL that specifies your search (just try it manually and see what URL Google generates when you hit the Search button; now use Process.Start(searchURL) to launch your default web browser and have it search right away.
2.
or put a WebBrowser Control on your Form and give it a Navigate() command.

thank you luc. but I just meant an example. my question was general, I mean what if I want to access a button in photoshop for example, to make a little plugin for myself...
thank you again.

Then you'd use the SDK for PhotoShop to create the plugin. Not some screwed up method of "remote controlling" another application.

hay can you help me
i saw code here : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/ListNetworkComputers.aspx
can somebody help me to make software which turns off comp on the network
i mean when i run it i select comp. and turn it off

If I read your question right, you want to
1) Scan your network, and find all computers on it.
2) Select a computer from this list.
3) Power down this computer, as if you were sat in front of it and gave the "shut down windows" command.
Is this correct?
Why would you want to do that?

Don't know. But I could have some fun at work with that....

I'm already having some fun myself. I'm not shutting down the "targets" workstation, but locking it while he's using it is turning out to be very funny!

Try this code[^] - I haven't tested it myself.

You could try using the Remote Shutdown tool[^] from your code.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to convert a Doc file into an image object with c#.
I need this project in order to create an application that will enable the user to give evaluations on paperworks originated by MS Word.
My goal is to create a panel that will enable the user to view the doc as an image and paint on it.
My thinking was to create two panels, MainPanel and ChildPanel. The ChildPanel will be hosted by the MainPanel.
The MainPanel backgroud will be an image of the Word document and the user will be able paint on the ChildPanel.
I use Main and Child panels so I can have it as layers, so if the user like to make changes to his evaluations he can do so by erasing/adding changes to the child panel without altering the main document.
tnx
Leeoz

From the doc: The EnumWindows function enumerates all top-level windows on the screen ...
The OP's requirement is to find all the files that are opened. I don't see how EnumWindows() can help.
