Haven't looked that closely...
...you're searching for a button in the main window using FindWindowEx() and storing that handle in "hWnd1".
But then you're sending BM_CLICK to the main window handle of "lhWndP":
hWnd1 = FindWindowEx(lhWndP, 0, "Button", "&Cancel")
Call PostMessage(lhWndP, BM_CLICK, 0, 0)
Try sending it to "hWnd1" instead:
hWnd1 = FindWindowEx(lhWndP, 0, "Button", "&Cancel")
If hWnd1 <> 0 Then
Call PostMessage(hWnd1, BM_CLICK, 0, 0)
Else
MsgBox "Button handle not found!"
End If
