Hi everybody,
is there any way to unequally identify a windows application control
(such as edit, button, radio, toolbar, menu, etc..) under the mouse? I
need an identifier that will remain unchanged after user restart the
application or reboot the OS. I tried to use the control resource id:
POINT mycursorpos;
::GetCursorPos(&mycursorpos);
CWnd* under = CWnd::WindowFromPoint(mycursorpos);
int resourceId = under->GetDlgCtrlID();
HWND client_hwnd = ::WindowFromPoint(mycursorpos);
int resourceId = ::GetDlgCtrlID(client_hwnd);
The above code has some problems:
- not always working, specially with toolbars and menus
- not working at all for application like Opera and Firefox
- no results on Java applications
Thanks in advance!
