You can do things like * simulate a user selecting a menu item. This in turn allows * you to 'remote control' a window. However in order to * simulate selecting a menu item you need to know either its * text or its id. These items can be difficult to learn * becuase often times a menu item's text has hidden characters * in it and the id of menu items are usually only known by the * application developer. * * This examle shows how to use the MenuObject to discover the * text and id numbers of any item in the Notepad menu. * * The example uses some of the public functions provided by * the windowsSystem.frm package. That framework contains * functions shared with other example programs shipped with * ooRexx that use winsystm.cls. * * This example does not have much comment. To understand more * of the details of starting and closing Notepad automatically, * take a closer look at the writeWithNotepad.rex example. * * External function Source * --------------------------------------------------- * getPathToSystemExe() windowsSystem.frm * errorDialog() ooDialog * findTheWindow() windowsSystem.frm * MenuDetailer windowsSystem.frm * * The external functions used by this program allow you to read through the * code here and get the over-all picture of how the program works. To * understand the finer details, you will need to look at the implementation * of the external functions contained in windowsSystem.frm. */ notepadExe = getPathToSystemExe("notepad.exe") if notepadExe == .nil then do msg = "Faild to locate a definitive path to the Windows" || '0d0a'x || - "Notepad application.
