In Visual Basic how do you gain access other windows!

I'm trying to use a program to automatically search forum posts to check for certain misspelled words. I'm using the findstr method but cannot get it to search the textbox in the browser.

I do know how to 开发者_运维知识库have it search within the application itself by using textbox1.text for example but not other windows.

Just try this out where myOtherForm is the name of the form you want to access the textBox:

dim otherFrm as myOtherForm1

with otherFrm

If textBox1.text = "MySearch" then
    .../... Do something
End if

End With
