I want to open Microsoft Security Essential program and click Scan now button with VC . I can find window but Can't find control. This is my code when I run this code it show Control not found . I try to test this code with click Browse button in Run program it work but when I try to use with Microsoft Security Essential it not found control. I don't know why maybe this control is in Tab . How to use FindWindowEx() click Scan now button in Microsoft Security Essential ?
int run_ms(){
ShellExecute(NULL, L"open", L"C:/Program Files/Microsoft Security Client/msseces.exe", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
HWND w;
w=FindWindow(NULL, L"Microsoft Security Essentials");
if(w==NULL)
MessageBox(NULL,L"Not found",L"",MB_OK);
else{
HWND cb;
cb = FindWindowEx(w,NULL,NULL,_T("&Scan now"));
if(cb!=NULL)
{
SendMessage(cb,WM_LBUTTONDOWN, NULL,NULL);
SendMessage(cb,WM_LBUTTONUP, NULL,NULL);
}
else
MessageBox(NULL,L"Control not found",L"",MB_OK);
}
return 0;
}
I use Spy++ with button in Microsoft Security Essential it show like this
Caption : &Scan now
Class : ALT:BUTTON
I use FindWindowEx() like this cb = FindWindowEx(w,NULL,NULL,_T("&Scan now"));
but it not found Control.
The FindWindowEx
function will not "drill down" into the window hierarchy - it will only look at the child windows of whatever you ask it to search. With that said, and from quickly looking at a screenshot of the Microsoft Security Essentials user interface, I am 99% certain that the "Scan now" button you are looking for isn't a direct child window of the main Microsoft Security Essentials Window. And that's why your FindWindowEx
call fails.
I don't have access to the Microsoft Security Essentials software, but wit access to Spy++
it should be easy to find who the parent of the "Scan now" button is: the Microsoft Security Essentials window or another window that is, itself, the child of the Microsoft Security Essentials window.
