Hi all,

Is it possible to know which control is under the mouse? Say I am using photoshop and my mouse is over a spinner, can I find out which control it is? If so, can I change it's value?

Thanks,

aw

You can use WindowFromPoint() to retrieve the window at a specific coordinate like the mouse position.

What kind of application? You can not directly manipulate controls in other applications as far as I know, you could simulate mouse/keyboard events to some extent.

Thank you for replying. But even if I have a handle to an application, I still can't access it's ui controls, right? Like one of it's textboxes, where I could get/set the content?

Thanks again,

Thanks for replying. It's photoshop. I was wondering, if I could access one of it's controls, like the hue slider, so my app, could change it like you were adjusting it.

Thanks again,
