  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.

  If you have access to the application’s source code or can create a script or Among Us Unblocked tool that runs within the same process, the best approach is to use COM automation to directly interact with the fpUSpread70 control. This allows you to programmatically access cells, rows, and columns, and modify them as needed.

  Manipulating the contents of a specific application’s control, such as

  fpUSpread70

  , typically requires a deep understanding of both tap road the control’s API and the message-passing mechanisms in use.

  fpUSpread70

  is associated with FarPoint Spread, a spreadsheet component sometimes used in software applications for displaying grid and sheet data.

  Interesting question about automating Spread COM 7 controls! I’ve used AutoHotkey with success before. Another thought: could you potentially trigger events within Spread using external scripts, maybe even mimicking user input? It’s a bit like those old flappy bird bots - simulating interaction. This might give you fine-grained control. Good luck!
