Hello all!
My project is to write a small program that reads the content of an edit control from another application (not written in Ebasic)
then use that data to create a key that will be written to another edit control from the same application and finally simulate a click to validate the data written.

In short my goal is to write a smart keygen that automates iteratively the process above.
I know how to do it with two programs written in Ebasic but i'm failing to do it with an external program.

I'm thinking about using Hooks, will that be efficient enough ?
Any additional suggestions ?
Thanks.

Hello Pete,
While I'm guessing that you can probably do what you need through the API, you might also want to have a look at using the free AutoIt DLL:

They sure package up a lot of helpful tools and possibilities...

Thanks Doc!
i'll have a look at it.

this may or may not be helpful :-) i use to have two email accounts for outlook one for work and one for home, for some reason i had to have one account password.  i had two icons on the desktop one outlook home and one outlook work, what this code would do is load outlook select the correct profile and enter the password, it is a project but only to display a banner to show the program was working.
