How To Click a Button using SendMessage and C#

[Mark Overstreet]

I am trying to click a button in another window and I have it's hWnd
value so I was trying to use Send message. Here is my code but it
doesn't work as expected...

response = Win32API.SendMessage(hWndYesButton,Win32API.BM_SET STATE,0,null);
response = Win32API.SendMessage(hWndYesButton,Win32API.WM_LBU TTONDOWN,1,"11");
response = Win32API.SendMessage(hWndYesButton,Win32API.WM_LBU TTONDOWN,1,null);
response = Win32API.SendMessage(hWndYesButton,Win32API.WM_LBU TTONUP,0,null);
response = Win32API.SendMessage(hWndYesButton,Win32API.BM_SET STATE,1,null);
response = Win32API.SendMessage(hWndYesButton,Win32API.BM_SET STATE,0,null);

Can someone give me an example in C# that works! I would certainly
appreciate it as this is driving me crazy because all it does is press
the button but fails to fire the click event so that window actually
closes!

Thanks
Mark

Send a WM_COMMAND to the parent window or dialog (form) that holds the
control with the wParam set to the ID of the button. This should simulate
the button press, works with Win32API code.

Yes I have tried the BM_CLICK parameter as well. Sometimes it works in
Design mode stepping through the code but when I run the app, it
doesn't.

Any other ideas?
