Clicking A Button On An External Application
Hello, I'm trying to click a button on another application, but I can't get it to work. The button is a few layers down, but it never finds the button. What am I doing wrong?
I've included a screenshot of Spy++ to show the structure.

Button Clicking
Does anyone know how to make a button do something different after being clicked a second time?
Here's my case: I need a button, once clicked, to make .visible=true after clicked once. After being clicked again I need it to make .visible=false.
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, but basically clicking button needs to make something appear, clicking it again needs to make it disappear.
Anyone got a clue what I'm talking about?

Button Clicking
I have a form with a text field and a button. I don't want the text field to be visible all the time, so what I want to do is when the user clicks the button have the text field become visible and have the button continue to look like it is depressed as long as the text field is visible and then when the user clicks the button again, the text field disappears and the button goes back to normal. Any idea how to do that?

How To Get New Forms By Clicking On A Cmd Button?
Hi, I'm only brand new to VB but I've got to design a GUI for a project that I'm doing (it is to display the results from six different weather instruments). I'm not sure the best way to do this but I thought that it would be a good idea if I could have a main form where the user could click on one of six command boxes (eg, rainfall, wind direction etc) and then another form could pop up for the appropriate choice. However I have no idea how to do this so please any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

CLicking A Button In A Frame?
I know some other people also asked for this, and i tried to search the forum, but didn't got any answers that i found working.
So here we go again
Lets say i have this page with 2 frames. A login, and the real page. Now i wanna fill the username called UserName and the password called Password. Normally i would just do something like:
forms(0).Username.Value = "Myusername"
But I can't get that working.

Clicking Button On Web Page Through VB
I need to modify my VB code to click a button on a web page. The code I currently have is:
Dim oTrack
Set oTrack = docHTML.All("track")
oTrack.Click
This has worked fine but now the web developer for the webpage has made a change to block programs like mine because of 3rd party auditors. I am just trying to check on my own packages. They blocked it by naming a blank gif image "track" as well as the button that I am trying to click. Any ideas? I am new to VB, I would consider myself an amatuer but can modify code here and there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bm_click Vs Clicking A Button...
I'm using:

progr = FindWindow(vbNullString, "New Quote")
If progr <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Good"
Exit Sub
Else
' Msgbox "No Good"
End If
Exit Sub
to try and determine when the page is opened. The problem I'm running into is that when using the sendbuttonmessage function, The findwindow isn't working, If I click on the button manually, I can find it, but using sendmsg, I'm returning nothing, anyone have an idea as to why?? Thanks for any help.

Clicking A Form Button
ok I have made some code that fills out a series of forms for me and it works good exept on one of the pages there are two buttons and they are not submit buttons they are normal buttons... for example a submit button sends the form data to the link indicated by action= where as this button calls a function inside the webpage which does a few small things then submits.
so rather than WebBrowser1.Document.frmWebPermSettings.submit
I wont to click that button and here is some code to help u
Code:
<INPUT ID=onetidOk class="ms-ButtonHeightWidth" Type="button" Value=" OK " onclick="ConfirmAndSubmit()">
thats the code for the button I wont to press
Code:
function ConfirmAndSubmit()
{
var L_WebpermConfirm_Text = "Changing to inherited permissions may prevent you or other users from being able to access this Web site. Are you sure you want to continue?";
if( varWasUnique == 0 ||
!(document.getElementById("RadioPermInherited").checked) ||
confirm(L_WebpermConfirm_Text) )
{
document.forms.frmWebPermSettings.submit();
}
}
Thats the code the button calls
there are two buttons in the form "frmWebPermSettings" There is the one I wont to press "onetidOk" and the one I dont want to press "onetidClose"
please help if you need more code ask for it and I will post it .
Mousedown Button (without Clicking)
I have code that has been working using api to perform a clickbutton (sendmessage) (without actually using mouse to click), but now I switched the code to mousedown (because the button needs to repeat, and I have a timer enabled to repeat the command when mouse down, stop on mouseup). If I add a clickbutton event also, it messes with the mousedown and can send too many (an extra command) commands when the mouse button is released. Soo, how can I simulate a mousedown (and mouseup), so that I don't have to click. This is for a joystick to "click" a button. An alternative idea would be, how do I add a clickbutton event, but dont have it fire when the button is clicked, lol, just have it fire when SendMessage API says to Thanks!
