Richard, correct.

Currently users spend a lot of time navigating the system preforming the same tasks multiple times.

The goal is for business automation that would involved :

1, navigating app (as if user were clicking menu options)
2, selecting items from lists
3, prefilling fields (eg text boxes)
4, sending click events to buttons (e.g Save)

I have managed to click a button in the app but I need to understand how to navigate menus.

This needs to do done without changing the source smalltalk application.

Thanks
John

Unfortunately that is not an option as my Smalltalk program will not work with Managed c++

Point taken. In my defense this is the first time I have posted and I am completely new to c++ so it may be diffult for me to define the question. All I can say is that I have a smalltalk program calling a c++ program and it must retain the following signature
bool TestString(LPTSTR lpBuffer, LPDWORD lpnSize)
Can you give me an example of how I would create a simple c# program (and code its call from c++) that could correctly return a value into the lpBuffer of the c++ program.

Thanks John

Thanks for your response but it looks like you show the c# pgm calling the c++. I need it the other way around. I need the c++ program to call the c# program.
