Getting handles of all controls on a window using it's classname

Question

I can get handles using mouse location by clicking. But i need to find handles of all controls on a window using it's classname without clicking. I have to get them, while the window opened. Is it possible?

Answer 1

you can combine two popular API's:

[DllImport("user32.Dll")]
private static extern Boolean EnumChildWindows(int hWndParent, PChildCallBack lpEnumFunc, int lParam);

This function is for getting all "child" windows inside a window. The second one is

[DllImport("User32.Dll")]
private static extern void GetClassName(int hWnd, StringBuilder s, int nMaxCount);

Use this method to filter whether the enummed window has a specific class name.

Happy coding!

Answer 2

Yes, you need to use a variety of API calls, starting with EnumWindows and probably GetClassName as well.
