Can't say anything...

Posted by Kishori Sharan on December 17, 2000 at 6:28 PM

I can't say it is impossible, but there are many questions which needs to be answered before working on this.
1) When a dialog box is displayed on desktop then how do you come to know about this event that a dialog box has been displayed.

2) Then it will be easy to get the handle of that dialog box.

3) The dialog box could be written in any language VB, PB, Java etc.

4) Now to get to the "Cancel" button what mechanism ( or procedure ) should be used.

5) Can be treat all dialog box )( written in different languages ) in a same manner to get the handle of a componenet on it?

6) If we get the handle of cancel button then it is just a matter of putting a click event for that button in system que.

I don't have any knowledge of doing any of these steps. If you get answers to this problem then let us know so that we , the artima family, can also benefit from your experience.

Thanx
Kishori
