sending keys from dialog box

[gtirmizi]

Hi,
I am writing my program in VC++ 6.0 with Win32 API support.
I have a dialog box that has two input controls (for uid and password) and OK and CANCEL button. I got the handle to the main dialog box, and now I want to identify the input controls in that dialog box and OK button.
I have got the handle of main window and I know how to send string to those boxes, but I need to know how to identify those controls, and the OK button (among other buttons). Also, how to send the key to process OK button.

I'm in desperate need for help. Thank you in advance for the help.

Use GetDlgItem() to get the HWND of the control:

    HWND hEditUID = GetDlgItem(hDlg, ID_EDIT_UID);

Better would be if you use GetDlgItemText(hDlg,...) which will give you the direct text instead of handle
