Hi. How can i get handle of button if i don't know it's id? I tried to get it's id with AutoIt and i failed. AoutIt Windows Info doesn't reconsie it as button. I mean i moved cursor on the button and nothing appeared in control tab. Maybe i can send 'ENTER' to window? Because that button is deafault button. Any ideas?
Thank you

PostMessage will send the message to the hWnd not to the button. To make myself clear, consider this: PostMessage can send keys to an inactive window.
And IIRC the 2nd arg to keybd_event() is I guess the Scan key code.

I changed ScanCode to 28 and now it works. Sometimes... I made button wich i need to press to send ENTER to other program. If i press that button one time nothing happens, but if i press that button lots of times it send lots of ENTER. Any ideas?
