I want to write a program that can automate another program, by supplying it
with mouse and text events. First, is this possible? Second, how would I go
about doing this?
Basically, the other program is visible on-screen, and I want to have my
program simulate me clicking on it and typing in information.
Also, in order to get feeback, I would like to perform a screen capture on
this other program. How do I do that?

Yes. If the program to be automated supports the accesibilty interface
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...accrf_87ja.asp
it is straightforward .
Second, how would I go about doing this?
If it does not, you can send keyboard and mouse events to an application
with SendInput(). You retrieve text in edit controls by sending a WM_GETTEXT
message.
Also, in order to get feeback, I would like to perform a screen capture on
this other program. How do I do that?
For windows that support either of the WM_PRINT or WM_PRINTCLIENT messages,
you may be able to send them a message. You might want to ask about that in
the graphics group

Hi all,
Firstly :-) , is there any where I can search through archived newsgroup
posts so I am not cluttering up the newsgroup with repeated queries ?
And secondly :-), I know this has probably been discussed before but.
I am wanting to do some scripting to automate a few administration tasks,
one of the first tasks is automating FTP file transfers.

I'm trying to receive events from a running instance of Internet Explorer.
So far I've only been able to receive events from an instance I launch from
code, but I need to receive events from all running instances of Internet
Explorer (I mean those that the user launches himself).
I know this is possible because I did it three months ago. Unfortunately, I
can't find the code. I've already looked at all the Microsoft articles on

I need to automate a report in a different database (and thank yous to Terry
Kreft for pointing me in the right direction).
below is the code with the one line that does not work, marked: 'Does not

It appears that the type of object returned from the "AllReports" collection
is not a report object.

I have a problem. I am constructing a database of eople's names and
addresses for business purposes. This requires all of the people to be
numbered eg:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
But the problem lies here: if I have to ever alter the names, I would have
to alter the numbers, which may require slotting someone in between two
people:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, (new person),9,10
so the new person would become 9, 9 becomes 10, and 10 becomes 11.

My D-Link DSL-302G modem/router has a real-time clock whose settings

could then add the hacked JS page to my browser's bookmarks. I've
already successfully modified and adapted other modem menus, but I
