Mark:
Have u tried a FindDescendantWindow & searched on the controlID 8962
for the play/stop toggle & 1001 for the combo-edit box for your
sounds? That's really the way 2 go on these kinds of scripts where
control ID's r unique.
If u wanna just press 1 hotkey, Just do it using a GetCurrentControlID
or something similar. Are these things u know how to do?
