Sup, I'm really new to api so this might sound kinda stupid. I don't know.

Anywho. I'm trying to find the handle of window of class "Edit" Now that seems simple enough but there is two windows of the class "Edit" under the same parent so when I do:

Findwindowex(Parent,Child,"Edit",vbnullstring)

It returns 0 prolly because there is two. Now how am I supposed to work with hWnd 0? Any suggestions?

After reading the MSDN page on that API call, if it returns a zero, then there were either no matching windows or there was an eror. If there are two matching windows, the call will return the first of the two.

You can try using GetLastError to see what happened, but that can be a pain.

More likely, you're not calling the function with the correct arguments. For Child you should be specifying 0 for the first time, indicating start searching for a child at the beginning of the window's list of children. If you want to find a second matching window, use the hWnd you got as the return value of the first call as the Child parameter to the next call.

I hope that helps...

PS: Always consult the MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.

Use nothing (zero) for the first child and then use the return (if it works right) to search for the other one.

Child = FindWindowEx(Parent,0,"Edit",vbNullString)
Child2 = FindWindowEx(Parent,Child,"Edit",vbNullString)

Also, make sure the parent is legit otherwise use nothing for that, too.

Am I always saying nonsense, cause it seems people always follow up my replys with the same thing again?
