Hi, in some computer language there exists the possibility to control an app remotely in windows via com/ole. Is this possible in blitzmax too? I've found an interesting project, but I don't know, if it can be make fit for blitzmax? ( http://disphelper.sourceforge.net/ ) If anyone made experience concerning this issue I would thank you alot if you share it ;) regards, gekko

You need to write your own COM component to do this as all of those apps did. that has nothing to do with the language but with the application you want to control remotly.

Oh, i just didn't wrote it clearly. I'm sorry. I wanted to control an existing app with an existing interface, like lets say Internet Explorer or Winword.

You can't unless you write a wrapper library that uses the COM. Blitz does not support COM / ActiveX / OLE EDIT: its a game targeted language, not application targeted
