 Posted: Feb 2nd, 2004 12:23 PM Post subject: Controlling another application |
 |
|
Hey All,
I'm writing an application which will take data from an Excel Spreadsheet and enter it into an existing application which I did not develop and do not have access to the source code. I do know that the application was written in Visual Basic 6 though, so hopefully that will help a bit.
I however and developing in VB.net
What I would like is to somewhat take control of the external application (TCG) and input data into fields on the form. Nearly all fields are MSflexgrid's, but some fields do require a double-click to activate a hidden combobox.
I have considered sending Keystrokes to TCG, but this is a very unstable method.
Is there any way I can take control of the program using API or another method to directly access data fields or objects even though TCG was not written for communication purposes? |
