Hi,

I've got a bit stuck with something. I'm trying to interface with another
application and set a few of it's edit boxes. The problem is this other
application has about 6 edit controls (it has two combo boxes also I need to
interface).

Doing this:-

Edit1 := FindWindowex(W, 0, 'Edit', nil);
Edit2 := FindWindowex(W, 0, 'Edit', nil);

produces spurious results as it doesn't seem to grab the same ones each
time.

If I look at the objects in WinSight, I see there's a location reference,
like this:-

Window rect in screen : (-3926, -31706)-(-31810, -31605)

Window rect in parent : (74,294)-(190,315)

Client rectangle : (0,0)-(116,21)

As I know that these objects are always in the same place in this app. can I
use any of these references to find the particular edit and combo box I'm
after?

If so, what would be the windows API call and parameters?

Many thanks,

Dean
