Internet Explorer, Flash and OnClick message...

[Alex Getman]

Hi Gurus, I got some kind of unusual program to do... I am viewing a web page in Internet Explorer 6.0, and I got a flash object in that page. So, I want to ask you if it's technically possible to write program that will send onclick message to the Internet Explorer window? And if it does can you give me some help how to do this thing, please. Or maybe some links would be helpful too...Thanx. :confused: xedom developers team

Yes, you can P/Invoke SendMessage and pass the BN_CLICKED message. You will need to the HWND (handle) of the button itself for the SendMessage call as well. You can programmatically iterate through each window using FindWindow. Spy++ may also be of some help to you depending on specific implementation. - Nick Parker

In particular, SendMessage is documented here[^], however because it is a native method, you will need to use P/Invoke to gain access to it. Reading about the DllImportAttribute Class[^] will be helpful. Also, you can read about P/Invoke here[^]. In .NET, a HWND or handle is of data type IntPtr. The SendMessage declaration should look like this:

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, IntPtr wParam,
IntPtr lParam);
