sendmessage to a password box?
 

Hi, I am trying to sendmessage a password to a password box in another application. Whenever it sets the text, it shows the *** but the password is not really there. after the program runs, I can go in and delete the last * and replace it and it will log in fine. Is there another step you must do to a password box after the sendmessage call? I'm at my wits end (short walk). I have scoured the internet looking for the answer and I cannot find it. oh yea... VB6
