I have an app that keeps popping up a windows with a 'Yes' or 'OK' button
on it. I am trying to write a little app that automates hitting the enter
key so I don't have to do it myself.
I used the FindWindow method to get a handle of the window and then issued:
SendMessage(hwn d, 273, 0, IntPtr.Zero)
to send an ENTER key to it but it didn't work.
If I need to get the handle of the 'OK' button, how do I do it? (How do you
loop through the buttons and find the handle you need?) If I just need to
send an ENTER key to the window, is the method above correct. hwnd is the
handle of the popup window and 273 is the decimal value for ENTER (0x111).
Thanks.

John,
You should not use SendMessage to simulate user input. Rather, take a
look at the SendInput API function to simulate user input (key presses,
mouse input, etc, etc).
Hope this helps.

John,
When you click a key on the keyboard, it sends a key down, a key press,
and a key up message. You are only sending one message and it doesn't look
right to the code that is trying to interpret it.
If you use SendInput, it will send all the appropriate windows messages
associated with a key click.

I am using an existing hodge-podge of an application that runs on top

handshakes then downloads/uploads various bits of information in the
access database.
The original application is designed for some poor sod to sit there
for hours and manually do the necessary.

Hi all,
I am having trouble converting the code below (found on
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/core/sendmessage.htm) into a
format that will work using vb .NET.
Can anyone have a look at it and let me know what I need to change. I
have tried changing the "hwnd" type into intptr's but there seem to be
other problems too, like it won't allow "lParam As Any" to be
declared.

I have two sets of search criteria on my page.
They are placed inside two DIV tags made visible/hidden by a client script.
In each DIV tag I have a LinkButton that performs the search from each set.
By using AJAX I get the resulting list expand and collapse without page
reload.
All work smoothly.
But one user today complained that the submit behaviour doesn't work like

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
