Hello Folks:

Developing on Windows 10 Pro, Visual Studio 2022 updated today, all C++.  

I want to write an app that can send page down keystrokes to scroll down through the comment section of YouTube videos.  

I feel I have the fundamental skills.  I have diagnostic code on one thread that sends keystrokes to windows of the same application that are running on a different thread.

How can I find the handle of a particular browser window, and convey that information to my application?

Thanks
Larry
