or handle
This all depends on what the application provides you. One simple way that
will occasionally work is to use the function that I believe is called
ClickObjectByName. If you are using the SetFocus command then this is using
a Windows Handle which is a unique number that Windows gives to a object
when the CreateWindow is called. Once you find this window handle with
FindWindow or FindDescendentWindow functions then you can just call
SetFocus( myHandle ) where MyHandle is a handle variable.
If your application only has one window but several controls then you need
to find the MSAA or UIA object and then activate that.
Take care,
Jonathan
