How to send message to the invisible window..

[wonnylee]

Hello.

I just want to know how to send messages to the invisible window.

I want to just show progress window telling how far the process goes..

and the working window to be invisible.

I tried with creating windows with invisible option, and used ContorlSend, Mouseclick , etc.

but it didn't work while the window is invisible.

I need to click forms , and sending messages(eg. ID/PW) to the invisible windows..

They work fine with visible window, but not working when it's invisible.

I really need your help. thanks..

Messages will work with hidden windows.

Messages will work with hidden windows.

how about 'ControlClick'? will it work while the window is in @SW_HIDE ?

thank you.

i'm trying to do a software install hidden and i've tried controlclick and controlsend and not having any luck in hidden mode. i'd be interested if you found a way to do it.

in the meantime i think i'll try using handles.

ControlClick() and MouseClick() will not work in a hidden window. For the silent installation of programs try to use the installer options ("/silent", "/s", etc). Try "/?" for get more information.

EDIT: I think Martin was referring to Windows Messages.
