Hi Mark:
usually, when you are using the FindGraphic function, the graphic that
you are looking for is not located within the window that has the focus.
What you usually do is to get the handle for the main window of the
application, or the handle for the dialogue that you are in.
Here is one example that might work for you.
GetRealWindow (GetFocus ())
This is called a nested function call. What you are doing hear is
calling the GetRealWindow function and supplying the handle of the
window which currently has the focus as the parameter for this function
call. The GetRealWindow function Returns the handle of the RealWindow
Or The window which has a title.
Now to combine this idea with your FindGraphic situation you might have
a function call that looks like this.
FindGraphic (GetRealWindow (GetFocus ()), "Graphic label to find",
S_top, S_UNRESTRICTED)
The success of whatever approach you take will depend on how your
application is designed. You may have to experiment with different
approaches until you find one which is reliable.
Some other similar functions which could provide a good starting handle
for the FindGraphic function include:
GetAppMainWindow
GetForegroundWindow
GetParent
GetTopLevelWindow

Hi David,
Thank you for your help. This makes much more sense.
Can I ask something else that confounds me? How does one get the
handle
for the handle parameter? In the getGraphic command.
Thank you.
