Automating VB6 application

[InclusiveExclusion]

Hey guys,

Does anyone have experience automating vb6 applications? 

I tried a few years back but kept encountering controls that refused to give up their info.

Any success stories of late?   Any feedback appreciated.

Hey,

I am not much versed in these but I guess what you mean is tools like AutoIt Window Info tool or Spy++ don't show the class name? What kind of controls did you have problem with?

The process, in general, is finding the window handle of parent (user32.dll findwindow) and then the control using class name (findwindowex). And then using SendMessage/SetText vs.
