We have a VB6 application running at a customer that has a bug in it when the user clicks on the Help button. A quick and easy fix would be to somehow remove the button so that they cannot click it (recompiling isn’t an option btw). Possibly a separate app running that is constantly looking for this form and then somehow removing/hiding the button. Can anyone think of a way to do this?

    You might be able to find the button window handle using the caption and maybe the class, and then disable it.

    This would be pure unadulterated evil, and would sooner or later cause immense pain to you or (worse) an innocent colleague. You really should recompile the application, unless threatened by something worse than a velociraptor.
