问题
I think I have a fairly simple question. I'm looking for a method to get the hwnd for an excel input box. I'm automating a process and I'm noticing that a type 8 input box is consistently underneath the excel window (I'm automating excel from another application if that is helpful.). Obviously, I'd like it to show up on top, and I'm attempting to use the SetForegroundWindow function. Any advice?
By request, the only thing I've found that seemed worth trying:
Public Function GetHwnd() as Long
GetHwnd = Excel.Application.InputBox.hwnd
End Function

It's not so simple a question - and the answer works around several frustrating gaps in VBA.
The VBA.InputBox function creates a 'Modal Dialog' which leaves your application's VBA code in a waiting state at the exact moment you needed VBA to grab the Window Handle and call some or other API function.
By the time the 'modal' state is released, allowing VBA to run commands and API functions again, the InputBox has gone away.
Fortunately, a workaround was discovered in October 2003 by 'manish1239', who posted an ingenious hack on Xtreme Visual Basic Talk: he put the code you need to run in a VBA function that runs around that waiting state, using a delayed callback from an API Timer.
I used his code to set 'PasswordChars' in a VBA InputBox: it's an API call that needs the InputBox window handle, and you can adapt the code for your needs
Public Function InputBoxPassword(Prompt As String, _
Optional Default As String = vbNullString, _
Optional XPos, Optional YPos, _
Optional HelpFile, Optional HelpContext _
) As String

' Replicates the functionality of a VBA InputBox function, with the user's
' typed input displayed as asterisks. The 'Title' parameter for the dialog
' caption is hardcoded as "Password Required" in this implementation.
' REQUIRED function: TimerProcInputBox
' REQUIRED API declarations: FindWindow, FindWindowEx, SetTimer, KillTimer

' Coding notes: we send the 'Set PasswordChar' message to the textbox edit
' window in the VBA 'InputBox' dialog. This isn't a straightforward task:
' InputBox is synchronous, a 'Modal Dialog' which leaves our application's
' VBA code in a waiting state at the exact moment we need to call the Send
' Message API function. So it runs by a delayed callback from an API Timer
' Warning: many of the 64-bit API declarations posted online are incorrect
' and none of them are correct for the pointer-safe Timer API Functions.

You'll need the following declarations:

.As always,watch out for unwanted line breaks in the code.
