I don't know your precise use-case and thought that this could possibly be sufficient but significantly less complicated. > I'm sorry but this > might be a stupid question but was do you mean by COM API? COM as in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_Object_Model API as in a programming interface: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface It's my understanding that most Windows GUI automation stuff tends to involve using COM. Again, I don't know specifics, I've just followed other Windows-specific posts on the mailinglist. Cheers, Chris
