What do I use to scan what windows are open to check to see if the "Continue' window is open?  How do I get that window handle?  How do I pass that handle to sendkeys?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have to install a package on a bunch of machines and the package takes forever to install (45+ min). &nbsp;To make matters worse it pops up with a continue box about every 5 min during the install forcing you to sit around and hit continue.<br />
<br />
I want to write a simple program that clicks continue for me so I can automate the install process. &nbsp;In VB 6 I use to use sendmessage but I can't seem to figure it out in vb.net<br />
<br />
Example program structure of what I would like to write:<br />
For each window in openWindowCollection<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; If window.title = &quot;Install Window&quot; then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Window.Sendmessage(&quot;Click Continue&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end if<br />
Next<br />
Sleep()<br />
<br />
Can someone help me out with this please?

Programming Help - vb.net/C# app to click in another application window using Win API or sendmessage

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
