This is apparently not accurate as the P/Invoke layer automatically generates a marshaling stub at a fixed address: http://blogs.msdn.com/cbrumme/archive/2003/05/06/51385.aspx !!!!Tips & Tricks: Please add some! !!!!Sample Code: Please add some! !!!!Alternative Managed API: The ManagedWindowsApi project (http://mwinapi.sourceforge.net) provides a SystemAccessibleObject class to access accessible objects and handle accessible events.
