That is similar to the Direct UI class, which is what we ran into with
messenger, a terminal type scenario, with a single window with no children.
Is the name of the thing you want to click always the same?
The GetObjectInfoByName allowed me to grab the second instance of the
history object, which then gave me an object to use the MoveToObject
function on.
Perhaps the Windows Live Messenger scripts could give you some insight, with
that Direct UI terminal-type scenario.
Thanks,
Dennis Brown
