I'm trying to click a button in one application using C#, This is how it looks in the Spy++

Spy++

And I got the ToolBar handle and there are buttons under it that Spy++ can't see and they look like this:

Buttons

but Inspect sees them:

inspect

so my question is how can I handle those without position clicking?

Here are the first buttons properties from Inspect

  • Use https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20141013-00/?p=43863 on that window? – GSerg Jun 30 '21 at 07:02
  • The toolbar buttons probably map to a WM_COMMAND wParam ID value. Is there a way to spy on the thread message queue and sniff the number? – Jeremy Lakeman Jun 30 '21 at 07:05

    Get to the button element and then use the InvokePattern's Invoke method on it https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.automation.invokepattern.invoke similar to this (in C++) https://stackoverflow.com/a/68060247/403671 – Simon Mourier Jun 30 '21 at 07:37
