Help with VB and SendMessage

[japantrader]

Hi,
I previously sent commands to QM from Excel VBA macros using:
Sendcom = "C:\Program Files\Quick Macros 2\QMCL.EXE MS ""QMMacroName"" A " & Param1
RetVal = Shell(Sendcom, 1)

But now I switched to Visual Basic 2010. In the QM help is states we can use : SendMessage(hwndQM, WM_SETTEXT, mode, commandline)

But I'm at a loss how to set the hwndQM pointer for Quick Macros???

Use Windows API function FindWindow. With it, use class name "QM_Editor", and no window name (null). The function returns the hwndQM.

Worked perfectly.

Thanks for the quick answer!
