WinAPI Suite is a set of utilities to call MS-Windows API from a command line or a Batch file. The following utilities Currently included: FindWindow - finds window handle that satisfy miscelaneous search criteria; SendMessage - sends or posts message to the window, with specified parameters; DropFiles.exe - emulates drag and drop operation for specified window; Sleep - yields processor time (pauses) for specified number of milliseconds; (NOTE: the last one, Sleep, is actually a freeware, you don't need to buy WinAPI Suite, if all you need is Sleep :-) As most MS-Windows programmers know, much of the low-level work in Windows performed by sending messages to miscelaneous code objects, called (surprise!) windows. An ability to send messages from a batch file to a selected window, can provide you with means of automating a third party application, that otherwise would require user interaction with mouse and keyboard. The simplest example would be terminating application. Most of the application would respond to WM_QUIT or WM_CLOSE message. But there's much more to it! Almost any action that can be performed with keyboard and mouse, can also be programmed as a sequence of SendMessage calls. FindWindow.exe has a /SET option, that would cause to output search result in a form: SET HWND=0x1C0 This could be redirected (piped) to another batch file, which in turn can be called to set %HWND% variable and use it as a parameter to subsequent calls to SendMessage.exe.
