  I am trying to read and modify the contents of an application using the fpUSpread70 control.

  Does anyone have experience with this?

  I was hoping I could use SendMessage to send messages like SSM_CLICK from another process but it looks like those messages are only sent from the COM object to the application, and can’t be used to set the cell position or read contents.

  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  In addition to Bitlife, I play five more games on my Android device. I am not certain whether all of these are accessible on iOS. Except for Family Life, all of them feature screens that are set up like bitlife .

  I’ve worked with the fpUSpread70 control before, and you’re right—SendMessage doesn’t let you directly manipulate cell positions or read contents. It’s more for sending messages like clicks or simple interactions. To really control and read from the grid, you’d need to interact with the control through its exposed COM interface or automation techniques. By the way, trying to juggle these kinds of controls can sometimes feel like trying to play —you’re constantly navigating unexpected turns!
