When we compile an executable with Delphi or Visual Studio, it is possible to include "debug informations" in executable. What i want to do is compile an executable with those debug informations. Then, from a second program, il need to interact with first program. I need to find text boxes and other controls. It is possible to do that with FindWindow API. But i want to access debug informations in order to find control from its real name. Do you know how should i do ? Thanks

  • Why don't you use UI Automation? – David Heffernan Jul 06 '14 at 11:43
  • Thanks for your Answer but the program is written in Delphi. No Microsoft... – testpresta Jul 06 '14 at 16:02

    That's fine. What makes you think that UI Automation is only for ms tools? – David Heffernan Jul 06 '14 at 16:11

    You don't need to compile the first app with debug info in order to interact with it from a second app. Nor would doing so help you in this situation anyway. A VCL control's `Name` is not accessible across process boundaries, unless you resort to using `ReadProcessMemory()`. – Remy Lebeau Jul 06 '14 at 22:44
  • Ok i will have a look to "UI Automation". But for now i really need to read memory and find each control with its name. Can you tell me more about ReadProcessMemory ? Thanks – testpresta Jul 08 '14 at 07:08
