Windows API Functions in C#

Windows API Functions in C#

Windows API Functions in C#

(OP)
Does anyone know how to use simple windows API functions such as "Findwindow" using C#.net?

RE: Windows API Functions in C#

[DllImport("user32.dll",EntryPoint="FindWindow",CharSet=CharSet.UNICODE)]
Public static extern int MyFindWindow(string _WindowClassName, string _WindowName);

Using g**gle won't hurt you, you know?

RE: Windows API Functions in C#

I am capturing the window handle of an external application (or any external app) using the GetForegroundWindow() api function.  Once I have the handle I want to locate a field and send write text to that field.  It seems that in VB6 there was a way to locate what the field of a window was after you grabbed the handle for that window.  Does anyone know of a way to do this in C#?

Thank you

RE: Windows API Functions in C#

I can sort of fake this using the SetActiveWindow(int hWnd) function and then using SendKeys.Send() to send the text.  Kind of dirty but it is working.
