I've never tried to use windows messages to automate an application, but
I've read some different blogs and articles that talk about sending keyboard
input and mouse input.
I wanted to describe what I want to do and hopefully someone here can tell
me if it's possible or if I will be wasting my time.
The steps I need to execute are:
1) Import a file using the file menu of the target application
(File->Import)
2) paste a filename in the filename edit control
3) press enter
4) press another button in the UI
5) copy text from an edit control in the UI
I don't know if copying and pasting is possible or if working with common
controls like the FileOpen dialog.
If anyone has done this or knows if it's possible or not, I would appreciate
knowing that before I dig into this project.
Thanks for any help,
Steve
