Capturing mouse click location/object

[MattH]

I understand how to capture return information from the controls that I create in a GUI. What I can't figure out is how to get "return" information from a control in another application. Specifically, I have a program that has an OK and Cancel button on it. I want to be able to know when those are pressed by the user. This is not a program I wrote so I can't get inside it. The Au3Info tool shows me that the controls are called Button1 and Button2. Sending a click is no problem, but I want to know when a click is received. Is that possible?

get hwnd button (ControlGetHandle). get mousehook. compare hwnd mousehook to hwnd of you.

no resources, only high level idea. ~Jap

fine. i have no faith of you.

run this and it tell you if Cancel of "Run" window clicked. need hook.dll provided
