<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

"mycontrol.controlcount" I cant do that :-)<br>
<br>
What I am doing is trying to get some text from a control on a control that is
on another application.<br>
So I need to send a windows message to get the control count.<br>
The reason for this is, the name of the control I am trying to get hte name of
is different every time.<br>
<br>
Basically I need to do this :-<br>
<br>
//find the parent window - done<br>
//find the parent control - done<br>
//loop the controls on the parent control's child controls<br>
//get the text from the control I want to look at.<br>
<br>
I hope what I am trying to do is res. clear :-)<br>
