BYWINDOW.EXE

===========================================================================
You need to be aware that the commands you specify are
sent to all windows that match the mask. The "*" character
is the wildcard character and means different things depending
on its position (you are allowed 0 or 1 '*' chars).
* No '*' means text describes EXACT window title (including
leading and trailing whitespace.
* The '*' begins the text means the Window should contain the
text you supply.
* The '*' ends the text means that the window title should
start with the text you supply.
This program sends output to stdout/stderr so you should redirect
this.
Some simple examples:
ByWindow MAXIMISE Netscape*
ByWindow SetFocus Netscape*
To position and size a window:
ByWindow Size E.EXE* 100 300
ByWindow Move E.EXE* 100 100
Change Windows Title:
ByWindow NewTitle "E.EXE -*" "Simple Editor"
To dump its application menu:
ByWindow DumpMenu "Simple Editor" > E.DMP
To remove its "save As" option:
ByWindow RemoveMenu1 "Simple Editor" 0x404
To close the window:
ByWindow close "Simple Editor"
The following shows the programs redirected output when a
syntax error occurred:

[]-----------------------------------------------------------[]
CORRECT SYNTAX:
BYWINDOW[.EXE] [!]ActionId "[*]WindowText[*]" | DESK-TOP | WINDOW-LIST
[XposOrLen YposOrLen] [ON|OFF] ["NewWindowTitle"]
[WindowId|NOFID SpecMsgId SpecIdMp1Val SpecIdMp2Val]
[SV_*SysId NewValue] [[0x]MenuItemID ...]
[> DebugOutputFile/Device]
Valid ActionIds (! means apply to all windows, ie. even owned):
DUMP[+] MINIMIZE MAXIMIZE SETFOCUS CLOSE HIDE SHOW
REFRESH size move SysModal flash
NewTitle SpecifiedId SetSysValue DumpMenu DumpSysMenu
RemoveMenu RemoveMenu1 RemoveSysMenu RemoveSysMenu1
Note that the 'WindowText' including any wildards may be specified twice
seperated by '~', in which case the 2nd window text is a child window of
the 1st! (example "*Command Ref~Contents") *** NOT WORKING YET! ***
REAL LIFE (tested & used) EXAMPLES:
ByWindow.exe !DUMP * > \1.tmp & type \1.tmp
ByWindow.exe SetFocus "STARTUP.CMD*"
ByWindow.exe SpecifiedId DESK-TOP NOFID 0x20 0x2c1 0x10002
ByWindow.exe !SpecifiedId "PMDiary Opt*" NOFID 0x7a 0x2e011005 0x63
REASON: Too few parameters, expect at least 2.
