This is a SendMessage example to control window of another application.
The sequence you follow is simple.
First, find out the target window handle by using FindWindow() function.
Second, send desired message to the target window using SendMessage() or PostMessage() function.
Example code to control "calculator" window.
void FindWindowAndSendMessage(void)
{
HWND hWnd;
LRESULT result;
UINT uMsg;
WPARAM wParam;
LPARAM lParam;
int i, j;
WINDOWPOS winPos;
hWnd = FindWindow(NULL, TEXT("calculator"));
if( hWnd )
{
// It works, I can handle to another window and control them.
//
// Change windows text.
//
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTEXT, NULL, (LPARAM)TEXT("my own calculator"));
// Close
//
uMsg = WM_CLOSE;
SendMessage(hWnd, uMsg, NULL, NULL);
}
return;
}
