Hi.

I'm trying to post a wm_command message to a control in a toolbar
(ToolbarWindow32) but don't get it done.

After getting the hanlde of the application I retrieve the handle of
the toolbar:
hwnd = (IntPtr)FindWindow("#1000", appTitle);
hwndChild = FindWindowEx((IntPtr)hwnd, IntPtr.Zero, "ToolbarWindow32",
null);
And then post the message like:
chk = PostMessage((int)hwndChild, WM_COMMAND, 7, 0);
(=> nothing happens in the application and chk is set to 1)
I used Winspector to check out the wParam (Control ID (7)), lParam
(Code (0)), the message (WM_COMMAND) and the toolbars handle. All
those seems to be correct.

Can you please give me a hint, what I'm overlooking?

Many thanks and kind regards.
Michi
 
Michi,

Have you hooked the window up to Spy++ (it's a tool included with Visual
Studio, and there are other windows interception tools out there as well)
and checked to see if your window gets the message?

Nicholas,

no I didn't. I use VS Express and can't find spy++ in it. I found it
in msdn (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa315486(VS.
60).aspx), but I didn't find a download of it.
