    We have a program that I do not have access to the code. What I would like to do is create my own program that can be initiated when a specific button click event occurs in the parent program. How could I make this happen if it is even possible. Also what tool can I use to find the specific event name for that button click when it occurs so I can make it happen? TIA, Brian

      Process.Start Oh, I see. If you don't have the parent program source, you can't do it.

        Have you considered not going through the parent program instead creating a whole new app that opens the parent using a totally transparent form and just making it look likt the buttons are part of the parent but really being contoled by yours
