with which program do you control other executables so elegant like in DVD2SVCD ?
can you do this with Delphi?
i am a newbie in this tasks, but i got a project, in which also needt to control some executables ;-)
please just an quick hint. i would be very thankful!
regards fritzbrause.
Alot of programs just use simple windows SendMessage calls to set text, press buttons, etc
i.e.
SendMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)"Set some text foo");
FindWindow can be used to find windows (FindWindowEx to find the child windows)
(also try to keep the subject of your threads related to the content...Thanks :) )

ps
I dont know delphi so im not sure how much it helps :)
See "Window Functions" in MSDN.
I expect you'll need
FindWindow
EnumChildWindows
ShowWindow
GetWindowText
Look at Microsoft Spy++ for some of the things you can do.
