Remote control

[Tomaz Rotovnik]

Hello I would like to build c++ application from which I can control office application - power point show. I just want to rotate slides in PowerPoint by simulating left and right arrow. With CreateProcess function I firstly open my application (*.pps). Then I use EnumWindow function to get window handle of my application. Is this window handle correct one? Should I search for child window? I found out that there is no child window for my application (EnumChildWindow). Why? I try to send message like: SendMessage(apphwnd,WM_KEYDOWN,VM_RIGHT,1), but unfortunately nothing happen. I'm sorry if I posted message on wrong board. Tomaz Tomaz Rotovnik

First, you work with two diferent instance. Because of that SendMessage doesn't work. Try to know more about instances and exist several approach (InitInstance(), FindWindow() or EnumWindow(), ExitInstance(), Mutex, registry etc).
