MS Paint Controls

[Aassdd 0]

I use paint very often but I hate that it doesn't have any hotkeys. Unfortunately, I can't find the controls because window info recognizes the toolbar as one control. Anyone know how to get the controls or click somewhere in the screen without moving the mouse?

ControlClick will send a click message to the control without actually using the mouse.

I don't believe you can actually get the controls. This was probably an owner drawn box that simulated a toolbar with several "hot" zones.

Edit:

Meant to say that ControlClick can use Client Coords for x and y position .

I think ControlClick will be fine, thank you.

Not fully sure if it can be done fully but check how far you come with the following references

I'll use ControlClick but.. why this doesn't work:

ControlClick("Paint", "", "[CLASSNN:AfxWnd42u2]", Default, Default, 45, 15)

and this does:

ControlClick("Paint", "", "[CLASSNN:AfxWnd42u2]", "left", 1, 45, 15)
