Manipulate extern control

[Streaky77]

Hi all,

I'm really sorry for my english, i come from french AutoIT Forum =)

Since few weeks ago, I'm working on an idea that trote me in the head for a while.

In summary what I am trying to do:

get info and send action to an external control (for example Office Word07).

Here is a small image to illustrate this ->

Typically, I will wish to send a click to the button "on-lineage" located in a relatively large control as you can see.

Currently, i can send a mouse click to a simple control (like below). But send a click to a control that look-like to an "area". I lack some knowledges.

The second thing I want to do is to get the event or message, then anything let me know that the user has clicked the button to highlight word.

I tested some stuff. In particular IsChecked parameter from ControlCommand () for radiobutton, but found nothing to buttons and even less in a control located barbarians grouping many items.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Vincent.

Look in the help file for "Word Management". It is at the bottom of the User Defined Function Reference section of the help file.
