Re: Keystrokes and mouse clicks to another app

Hi all,

I'm managing a project that will, as part of it, require me (so I'm
told) to type in 800 NI numbers. I have the numbers in a file, but
they can't (or won't) upload them.

I was therefore considering writing an app that will enter these
numbers via their interface, by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks to
their window. I'm guessing that I need to get a handle to it and then
send it messages, but that's as far as I've got. I believe that the
app is web-based, running in IE6.

It may be more effort to do it this way, of course, but it'll be a lot
more interesting (and I'm a programmer, not a typist!)

Any help you can offer would be gratefully received - pointers to
routines, code, demos etc.



Typically you can use SendInput etc to do this. Since you are using
IE6, you can also use its very useful object model(IWebBrowser2) to do
the same.
